I think a good alternative title for this video is "Top 10 Inaccessible Solo games I wish I could play more often". Just as your mentioned several times that you don't have time because you are content creator, many of us have plenty of other responsibilities that do not allow us to play these lifestyle games. I hope more of these publishers take a page from Cephalofair games and develop solutions like Jaws of the Lion for people who cant dedicate the entire free time to boardgaming.

This list is amazing. For solo gaming, I almost exclusively want to play big, theme heavy immersive experiences, and this reads like a "greatest hits" of that genre. I've heard of most, but not played most, so gives me a lot of inspiration. One of the biggest issues I have with most of these games though is that solo play is either: 1) Tacked on (ie just play the full party of x characters by yourself) or 2) There is a solo mode, but it's unbalanced, or even worse, both unbalanced and not true solo (Folklore is one I REALLY want to play, but solo is still playing two characters and is apparently also just harder). It's so rare that there are these big meaty theme heavy games that you can legitimately play solo, one character and it plays as well as the original. I much prefer not having to hold multiple characters' rules in my head and also also find it much more immersive to play a single character in a world rather than managing a party. I haven't played a number on this list, but I think 7th Continent is the only one that basically plays the same true solo as with a group, which is a huge plus in my mind.

This list is sooo good! And I got a massive smile when you had my two favourite games in the number 1 and 2 spot! This got me thinking, if you can make an all-time greatest solo games list, that would be great! I wonder how many of these would make your list. I looove massive thematic games like KDM and ATO solo, Oathsworn as well but I'm playing through it with my wife. And I always get excited when I see KDM mentioned. Can't wait for Gamblers Chest!! I'm now quite interested in some of the other games I haven't played that you mentioned. Middara is probably my grail game. Unfortunately they don't ship to my country (South Africa), which is unfortunate as most other games do. Even sent then a bunch of emails in the past. But it's nice seeing the game mentioned. My next game I'm excited for is Too Many Bones. Are you getting Unbreakable? It will be my intro in to the univers. I heard it's great solo and 2P, although it can be quite difficult. Anyhows, thanks again for the fun video!

Bottom line : Mostly campaign games. I don't mean that as dismissively, but just the reality of the difficulty of fielding those games on a regular basis, at least often enough to have a fair chance to finish them one day. To be very honest, I land exactly in the same spot as you do. I love these campaign games, and find it highly difficult to choose only a few of those (if not just one) to increase my chances of actually finishing one. They're amazingly well-crafted games, with enticing storylines, and brilliant mechanics (most of the time, anyway). However, the sheer number (and volume of contents for each) of these games makes it incredibly hard to pick. You elected ATO, and it would probably be my choice (since we're playing X-havens with a dedicated group, hence no solo), but the level of dedication it seems to require means even more games put on the side. Just out of sheer curiosity, if you had to pick a game that isn't campaign-based, which one could it be?
@RollingSolo

Thank you for sharing Adam, great list! It was fun finding out what some of your personal favorites are and comparing them to what I enjoy. We have similar taste, however ISS Vanguard would have been on my list and Etherfields would have ranked higher in the top 3. It’s not easy assigning a ranking to the top 5, as you mention it can fluctuate depending on the season. How about a Top 10 list of your favorite games, that don’t have a solo mode, but you really wish they did because you really enjoy the game. Also, how about a Top 10 playlist for songs you listen to when playing a game or setting the theme for your game. I enjoy doing this myself, am I the only one? 😂

Also Isofarian Guard is #1, but doesn't exactly fit the list as I'm playing it now and loving it (though again no true solo, but at least 2 character is the core game experience) but I can see becoming one of these when the ADD kicks in as I've been playing maybe 5-6 hours and sill not through the first chapter of the first campaign (and there are 20 chapters across 5 campaigns)

I very much enjoy Etherfields, and salute the bravery of AR in doing something different, not merely rebadging and tweaking an existing system. AR's 2022 releases disappointed, as it felt they might be heading towards a CMON/GW model of reworking existing titles. However 2023 campaigns suggest they are reverting to originality, with 2022 being a covid related hiatus to true innovation. Conversely I was disappointed, albeit not especially surprised, by the same 'groupthink' comments from content creators. Understandable for their inability to commit time to push past the introduction of deliverance, and indeed the point that slumbers become faster. Less so for a feeling they were repeating each other and not coming up with original thoughts. Special exemption to Rahdo, who took the time to do 2 follow up videos that provide a notable contrast to the videos that were pushed out on the game's release.

AT:O and KDM feel to complicated with attacks targetting specific parts of a monster and permament wounds to heroes. I am aware that games like Primal: The Awakening or Oathsworn have divided monsters into parts with dividing bases of miniatures into sectors, but for me it feels more natural and easier to uderstand in board game setting. Maybe I'm just to new to board games and I'm not ready for so heavy games, but for now I skipped KDM for that reason and AT:O I've skipped as soon as I've seen comparisons between it and KDM.

I just realised that you never did an unboxing or showdown of Aeon Trespass Odyssey. Is there a reason for this?

Nice video but come on just a simple list of the game names anywhere would be helpful.

I was totally underwhelmed by Etherfields. It was my most anticipated KS, but I ended up outright disliking it. The artwork and production were top notch, but that's about the only nice thing that I can say about it. The writing was pathetic. The deckbuilding uninteresting. But my biggest disappointment was the dreams themselves. Rather than being clever puzzles, they mostly required random exploration. Etherfields was clearly a ripoff of Arkham Horror LCG, but its gameplay wasn't nearly as fun or creative. When I hear others sing its praises, I wonder if they played a different game (or I was just in horrible mood over my multiple playthroughs).

Hey Bruce! Some games will just not land for people. Sounds like Etherfields was it for you. They did spruce things up in the 2.0 version as well which was great to see. What games are on your list?
