Heya dude - must be said this is one of the best and varied top solo lists I’ve seen/read - tiny games to big games and in between with a range of themes and mechanics etc. fantastic stuff.

Great list this is one of the best top solo videos I’ve seen. Some of my top solo games are spirit island, feast for Odin, revive, ark nova and final girl. If you haven’t played revive or uwe Rosenberg games solo they fit what you want with easy to implement solo modes so I’d highly recommend them. Also I think spirit island is simpler and better to learn as a solo game. Start with one spirit and no adversary then once you get it down add things in like playing two handed. It is well worth the effort once you learn it

Fascinating list, thanks! My current favourite solo games: Dune Imperium - very easy to implement as solo and feels very competitive. A Feast for Odin- smooth as Silk as a solo. Tiletum ( not at all easy to learn the soli mode, but very very good) Ark Nova- I much prefer this as solo- less stressful! Tapestry- again not too easy to pick up the solo mode for me- a bit confusing at first with unusual symbology/ but such a great way to test out different combinations. Dwellings of Everdell- Beautiful at solo & multiplayer Xia- great fun with galactic freedom to roam Isle of Cats - purrfect solo GWT Argentina/ my new hotness! Trajan/ brilliant solo and no one talks about that.

Love to hear that GWT Argentina is good. Cheap game. Great game. And if the solo mode is good even greater. I was undecided if getting it or not, as it’s a long game. My new hotness is Expeditions (Sequel to scythe) the Automa play incredibly well! Highly recommend

Thanks for the vid, you've definitely got some good suggestions which I'll be checking out. In my collection, my favourite small box solo games (with a quicker play time and less table-hogging) are: Tiny Epic Galaxies, Villages of Valeria, and Ruins of Thandar (which also needs the Hero Realms base-set). And topping of my wish-list is Paper Dungeons, One Deck Dungeon, and The Lost Village (to complete the Hero Realms solo experience). And my favourite big box solo games (that really hog the table, have longer play time, and higher complexity) are Paladins of the West Kingdom and Merchants of the Dark Road. Topping my wish-list here are some of the titles you suggested, including Hadrian's Wall, and The Ruins of Arnak. Thanks again

You put Final Girl at 3, which is great, despite your comments about luck. I feel I should say, for the benefit of those who may be on the fence about trying it, that the game gives you multiple ways to mitigate luck. The more I’ve played it the better I’ve gotten at handling the luck factor. There are still times where it can go off the rails, but not so much as when I was just playing for the first time. And, to your point, the theme is so strong, and so well implemented, that it’s the most fun game to lose that I’ve ever played. The narrative the game creates, even in a loss, is just so great!

I see you're into heavier games, so I would definitively recommend Nemesis in solo. Extremely difficult, also a bit luck dependent but very thematic.

Pavlov's House is a good solo game that recreates a real historic battle. It's my only "war game", but it plays like most other mainstream games, not too complicated. Also a little pricey, and the 2 and 3 player variants are not worth playing, but I like the solo experience.
