Love this list! I actually own and stand by #9, #8, #7, and #6 #9: Even if someone memorizes the pattern, that's still only half the puzzle, as the other half is deducting WHO the Dark Lady is, which is a challenge in itself. #8: I own the Saashi & Saashi version with original art, and treasure it GREATLY. I enjoy the bag-building and always imagine my hands as "hand roasting" each bean to its fullest potential. It's a bean-(deck-)optimizing game of knowing when to stop so when you DO brew your coffee, the ratio is just-right to pour the perfect cup, and it's WONDERFUL! #7: I always think of the dice placement like 1-player chess: Each die does a cause-and-effect between your moves and the AI's literal moves. Every choice is a mitigation, so I, too, don't believe it's luck-based. I've had some REAL close calls more often in there than in many other games I've soloed, and it's more thrilling when it's during the campaign! #6: Rove beats Sprawlopolis as my favorite solo ButtonShy game. Fun fact: the mission patterns match the rover's picture format! I also LOVE how the mission artworks create a panoramic picture as you progress in the game. Such a brain-buster! I'm loving your view of solo games and this list, and, as many others here have mentioned, it's a refreshing take amidst the common ones out there!

@@tabletoptokki I don't think I've see any other game quite like The Castles of Burgundy: The Card Game in terms of solo gameplay. In that set-collection game, you play against an AI in 5 rounds. The kicker here is that...there's no high score to beat; you just need to tie/beat the AI EVERY round, up until the end. The moment you DON'T, you LOSE! I wish more solo modes did this rather than high points. Every round promotes potential strategy changes. Say I was aiming to play the long game of collecting multiple sets, then suddenly the AI jumps ahead, say, 10 pts. Now I have to change my plans suddenly and squeeze 10 points before round end to just stay in the game. I love it!

Agree with the other posters that I like your lists as they are very different to others. You have a love for smaller box games that others don't talk about as much. They are not quite my top games either but I enjoy several of the Button Shy Games. As a matter of interest, do you start with 5, 4 or 3 cards in ROVE? I am playing with a friends copy and seem to do alright so far - admittedly I was an urban planner and seem to have good spatial awareness (yet to try 3 cards though). My favourite Button Shy game is Spaceshipped and I hope to get a commercial copy with expansions in the next kickstarter rather than my PNP version. I know that Spaceshipped is a bit on rails at times, but for some reason I find the quick market calculations and shifting/flipping mechanic quite meditative. And kudos for the mention of Maiden in the Forest.

X-com is brutal. One of the few video games I played where even the easy mode is hard lol. Like good grief. It actually opened me up to enjoying tactical games more, though I think my enjoyment of it is still mostly X-com. Tried a bunch of others and they just don’t seem to do it for me as much, but glad I tried! Never got a chance to play the board game sadly, seems like it mostly wouldn’t work with my friends.

I’m getting to the weird point where if I find another solo game I love, I will officially not be able to do a top 10, it will have to be a top 15 or 20. Not a single game is a game I’d be willing to remove from my ‘top’ list.

Lots of new games here for me to consider. Love it! I highly recommend Arkham Noir: Case 3 Infinite Gulfs of Darkness. Just came out and I can't stop playing it. I have the first 2 cases and they're pretty fun, but I wouldn't really recommend them. Case 3, however, is a masterpiece.

@@Boardgamegyrl Many things 1.) Completed cases unlocks specific items or other cases, creating branching story lines. 2.) You now have a briefcase that lets you move specific items to and from your hand anytime 3.) Menace deck adds a lot of variability to plays by adding random events, some good, some bad, some important to the specific story threads. 4.) Darkness items on some of the clue cards can increase the difficulty but there's usually a way to remove that effect. 5.) Clues are tied to specific narrative threads. To unlock a small narrative text you need to complete specific cases with matching clues in them 6.)Tillinghast's machine unlocks specific items that can't be used otherwise on clue cards Overall the versatility that comes from which cases you close first completely change the tone of the game. Do you unlock Tillinghast's machine 1st, or do you complete case 1 which branches into 2 new cases? or do you unlock special case thru menace cards? Then those new cases have so many juicy decisions, it's just wondering what Tves did with this system!

Surprised about Ragemore. I just. Couldn’t “get it”. I played a few times and I’ve never encountered a game I just felt like I was missing something vital that I didn’t know. Maybe I should give it another shot. But I played it a good bit and just never ‘got it’ (unlike say, Friday)

I have been wanting to try canopy coz it looks very pretty. But does the mechanism of giving cards to next player seems abit broken? As in over advantage to next player. There is another game , mint condition comics use this mechanism. I felt it is disadvantage to the first player as they end up getting lesser cards than other players
@tabletoptokki
2 жыл бұрын
Great question! In Canopy it is very well balanced, as more cards does not necessarily mean more points based on how trees, wildlife, and plants score. The solo mode also has slightly modified scoring for wildlife cards to balance out the drafting/ programmed solo opponent, which makes it very well balanced imo! :)
