Don't see it mentioned here yet, but 7 Wonders was my gateway and one I still use as a gateway game that I always have on me. Easy teach, easy setup, the right amount of strategy without giving new players AP, and scales well from 3-7 without adding downtime. For a party game, 2 come to mind, Deception and Hues and Cues. Deception is great social deduction that I could teach to anyone pretty quickly. Hues and Cues works with really any group, young to old, as long as they aren't color blind, it's a great and easy to understand game. Great video as always. :)

I think it’s awesome how everyone can have such a different list of games. I too am a solo player but I have not played any of your games. I almost bought Wingspan but ended up buying Too Many Bones that day instead. Warp’s Edge is a neat solo only game that I personally enjoy. If you’re interested, check it out.

I'm so curious about Too Many Bones though - I'm going in on the Hoplo KS, and wondering whether to add it in. I play solo or group of 4.

I have prob a good 60 or 70% of these in my collection with Nemesis and TMB probably in my current top 3! Rebellion is great but only got played twice bc of the time commitment (that would've been good to mention).

I think Everdell is solid, I would ditch Wingspan, add Lords of Waterdeep and Splendor, maybe Azul or Sagrada. Nemesis is such an event game, that I would probably swap it with TI4, because Nemesis with 5 players will definitely range into 4 hour territory and if I am committing to that much time I would prefer TI4. TMB is definitely a solid choice. Even just the core box provides plenty of fun for solo or multiplayer mayhem. Also cheap enough to slowly add content over time.

I love Too Many Bones, but I don't play solo. I would still bring it back into my collection if I lost it. I however had two different experiences with It. My one game group loved it. My other game group absolutely hated it, felt it was too finicky and too over complicated. They couldn't get past the payer aid, I personally thought it was self explanatory, but when they saw the side with all the dice faces, they were confused and thought they needed to roll all those sides to get the effect, while It clearly states those are the sides you can get on the dice, and then in a side bar shows what each side does. I don't know maybe I am just not a good teacher lol. First time I actually had to pack up a game, because someone didn't understand the rules, and were frustrated. Lets just say I am glad I got 2 different game groups because TMB is one of my favorite games of all time.

I hope you are getting Ticket to Ride Europe 15th anniversary edition that recently came on sale. I think Spirit Island is a better solo game than TMB (which is a great solo/adventure game), but TMB may be a better starter game. However, it is very expensive and difficult to learn. I think for starter collection, it'd better to separate a starter solo game (probably Marvel Champions) from a campaign game (you already have Gloomhaven JotL which is also soloable). BTW, what happened to Game 9 on your list?

@@GameBrigade Some people hate it because of the AP. Once you get good at it and can play at the hardest levels you’ll find the game design is a work of art, this goes more so when you play two-handed or with a strong friend. Jagged Earth is amazing in how it rethinks mechanisms I was sure I mastered. The biggest weakness of the game (other than the AP which Mage Knight suffers also) is the denouement when you win. Basically the curves for the ivaders and the spirits are different. If you manage to get the spirits engine built fast enough you can see you’ll win a couple turns before it happens which is a big let down when it happens (no payoff). If you can’t find a strong player they can walk you through what makes the game great then your options are to download the steam app and go through the tutorials through most of the achievements, or watch a strong player on KZitem such as Solo Playthroughs. It is the number one rated solo game for a reason.
