During the pandemic, Clue was sold out everywhere! It’s funny how when you’re looking for something, it’s hard to find. Then, when you’re not looking for it, you find it everywhere!

Absolutely! I can tell you appreciate the hobby just as much as I do. Getting closeup shots of the board and components is very important to me and I’m glad you noticed. It makes the time and effort put into making a video worth it. I truly enjoyed your comment!

Good thing that there’s a review on the channel for almost every game shown here 😉. If not, the video would be too long and long videos, going by my experience, tend to not be watched.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight, true, long videos are not as popular. But I don’t recall any mentions that there were full reviews of the games also available. A mention every 3-4 games would have been useful. Why are there no links to the reviews in the description?

Both games are completely different experiences. For example, Hoplomachus Victorum is an extremely heavy and complex game (although you get used to it after a while). Also, it demands A LOT of time to play with a lot of options available to you which can extend your play session significantly. Roll Player Adventures is not that complex and not that heavy. However, this also demands a lot of time to play but the tension is much lower and the focus is more on the adventure. It’s almost like playing a point-and-click adventure game. Ultimately, it depends on the type of game you want to play. Both are great choices but one is much more challenging and taxing than the other. If you’re looking for a fun challenging yet enjoyable time, choose Roll Player Adventures. If you’re looking for a challenging game that will test your limits, choose Hoplomachus Victorum. Hope this helps!

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Wow Helps a lot! Thanks for taking the time to reply. Have you played Tanares? Now im trying to get you to convince me I already have a game to fill my solo dreams.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel!

I would like to revisit my older lists and revise them. Lists like best deck-builders and dungeon crawlers would be fun as well as best movie/comic-based board games.

Thank you!

This was actually the game that got this channel started. For me, this game holds a sentimental value because of that. Even with that, I really enjoy the game, however, I heard the second edition of the game was better but I never played that one. I think this is a really good game.

Awaken Realms always makes great looking minis. They always have a lot of detail to them.

You’re welcome! You do need the core (Act 1) box to be able to play this.

There is a solo campaign and it works really well. You can also solo some one-off games, as well. I didn’t get the miniatures version when I bought the first Ascension Tactics and I did regret it. They’re not needed to enjoy the game but I prefer playing with miniatures.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight I've heard some people say it's better with miniatures and others say they are too large. Personal preference maybe? I love miniatures even though I never paint them. Unsteady hands. But you think this is definitely worth solo only and the replayability is there?

@@joefell5311 I have very unsteady hands, too. I have, however, been slowly painting my Imperial Assault miniatures. As far as replayability for Ascension Tactics, this is one game that I would recommend as a solo game, however, I would STRONGLY recommend it if you are able to play it versus, as well. The solo is fun but overall, it is much more replayable if you have someone to play against. On that note, it is a great player vs. player game.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight well, you've convinced me. I was watching the only Kickstarter I could find and just bought it. Probably paid way more than I should have. Unfortunately it will only ever get played solo. So hopefully I made a good choice. Thanks for your help.

@@joefell5311 it’s a great versus game and I think you’re really going to like it.

Thanks! I sometimes play solo with the solo rules included with Dark City and other times I play two-handed. Both modes are great. Now, Aeon’s end is great, too! I didn’t buy the most recent legacy game but I have everything that has come out before that. Aeon’s End is a phenomenal deck builder and it almost made the list. I have a special storage solution for it to make it easier and quicker to get to the table.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Thanks for the reply, I actually have the Dark City expansion but didn’t realize it included solo rules. Will have to give them a try! And, glad you’re also a fan of Aeon’s End! 👍🏼

It’s always nice to know when someone has been along for the ride since the beginning! Thank you for your kind words. You’re right, CTG’s tend to require a lot of investment to really enjoy their games. In my opinion, TMB is the game I would recommend most. Both Burncycle and TMB are great but I feel TMB has the most variety of the two. However, that does assume you purchase at least a few extra Gearlocs. I would actually recommend Undertow as the perfect place to start, get a feel for the game and take it from there. In truth, both games are really fun but overall TMB takes the cake. Hope this helps!

I’m not a fan of chibi art but it looks really nice here and it’s really well done. It fits and doesn’t feel forced. Til this day, I still find this game fun to look at and play.

Thank you! A lot of things are happening behind the scenes in my daily life. Just as with you and everyone else, life gets really busy. I’m glad to be able to release a video whenever I get a chance.

Thank you! You were one of the early consistent viewers to join the channel and the channel wouldn’t be what’s its become without all of you. I may not upload always but I do take pride in knowing that when I do, I do my best and invest a lot of time in making videos so that you all can enjoy them. Even if the game isn’t for everyone, it’s always fun interacting with you guys in the comment section.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Snieff, I feel touched. The good kind. 😁 Gonna stick around for a bit longer, I am intrigued to see how the channel keep growing, games keep getting played and little gems of cinematography are being born. Btw, how is Oathsworn coming along?

@@Biodelic Oathsworn has been great! I’ve enjoyed it but I am going at a nice and steady pace. Due to that, the game feels fresh every time I play it. That and I just really enjoy it. What I’m hoping to do is get my family and friends together to film one final homemade scary movie. Ever since my kids were little, I made them homemade scary movies with them being the stars of the movies. At first, I used those movies to teach them that there’s nothing to be scared of and showed them a behind the scenes look at how scary movies were made. That turned into a trilogy of anthology-styled homemade scary movies that has served as a type of time capsule showing how much my kids have grown. We also filmed two Batman and Robin movies but I don’t think my kids will be willing to don the costumes again 😂 My hope is that i can get my family and friends to create one more homemade scary movie. A more mature and not so kid friendly version that still maintains the silliness of the original trilogy while evolving. Now that my kids are no longer “kids,” that’s the only way I can get them on board. I’m strongly considering uploading the original trilogy of homemade scary movies and who knows? Maybe I’ll even upload the new one whenever we finish it. The new one will have a board game themed story that will intertwine with the other stories creating a hopefully entertaining and enjoyable finale to our scary movies. Now I just have to fix a few pipes that broke and caused chaos in our home before I get any other project started. You now have some insight on what’s been a going on behind the scenes over here 😉

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight It is very clear and obvious now, you are a very cruel man. First you are teasing us with homemade scary movies (and even B&R), just to instantly take it all away through limiting it to "considerations". Like we are not worthy of his Majesty's creative ejaculations. Like we are peasants, eternally doomed to the torture of Hollywood. The cruelty! The horror! The pain...... 😉

I’m going to frame it. This was the first prototype that I’ve received so I want to keep it as a momento.

Thanks, Chris! Awaken Realms hasn’t let me down yet so hopefully this keeps the streak going. The review should be out in the first week of June so I’ll try my best to show it off. Always nice to see you!

Thanks, man! Always good to hear from you! Things have definitely been changing when it comes to receiving review copies and now, prototypes but I want to make sure that I stay the same. I know I will. I should have the review up during the first week of June. I’ll make sure to give you a good idea of what the game is like. Good to see you, man!! Take care and see you soon!

Bloodborne has an invitation to Cainhurst Castle--but a quill pen, blood ink and a pact to sign are over the top kick-a$$!

Caught me completely off guard. They definitely went all-in with the theme. The next video of Grimcoven should be out the first week of June.

😂😂😂

Some of the bigger minis are difficult to see as well as the acrylic tornadoes and flaming skull. That might be due to them being a prototype but I’m not sure since this is the first prototype I’ve ever seen. Awaken Realms hasn’t let me down yet so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt for now, at least.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Don’t get me wrong, I just want it to be better. I’m all in as it is! 😁 And $109 is a very good price.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight I watched another Grim Coven Unboxing video where the fancier minis were breaking, and the channel host said it was due to a different type of resin used for the prototypes. Obviously, it would be disheartening to release cool minis which easily crumble, so I'm sure Awaken Realms will address that. It doesn't remove the wow factor of this game!

@@chrisw942 It definitely has to do with it being a prototype. Several minis have broken just by touching them. They’re very delicate.

It’ll be coming soon! See you there!

I hope you enjoyed your dinner!

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight haha thanks. The HORDE is here! It felt like a shame to throw the old box away even though it doesn’t really keep its shape. I just used it for storage of card sleeves.

@@soloflo I got it, too! Can’t wait to tear into it and play it! Unfortunately, some pipes in the house busted and caused utter chaos at my house. That literally turned this house upside down but nothing of value was damaged, thankfully. The fix is expensive but at least everyone is okay and that’s what counts. Once that is fixed, I want to dive head-first into some board games.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight wow pipes is a huge issue. I got some problems too and what I did was actually tediously cover all my precious board games with plastic drop cloth to avoid any possibility of damage!! Scary stuff hahaha

@@soloflo it’s been rough but at least my board games were nowhere near the pipes.

Growing up in the 80’s, I completely missed out on this hobby. Now that my kids are no longer kids, I find myself enjoying solo board gaming a lot. I feel the same as you when it comes to coverage of solo board games. There’s a few channels out there but there definitely needs to be more. I appreciate your comment and I’m glad you found the channel!
