Good advice! 🤣

Hey, Oleg! Aeon’s Edge is a solid game. I sold my collection after exploring most of the first two wave as it just wasn’t getting to the table in my group and I don’t love deckbuilders in general. But I really did like a lot about what Aeon’s Edge does.

Unfortunately, no. City of Kings didn’t stay in the collection very long. It’s got some ideas I really liked but other games just do similar things better for my tastes.

Awesome. Thanks for the comment!

Glad the playthrough helped! I'm still looking forward to exploring the expansions in the future - just know I don't have the time to commit to that these days. :)

Yeah - most skill dice are single use once applied to a baddie, even ones that can be stored in a locked or active slot.

It’s a very understandable mistake! TMB can be a real bear to learn, esp since each gearloc can really be considered the equivalent of a whole new game.

Maybe next year? 🤣

Hey Carlos! I’m honestly not sure. I don’t remember the rules enough to answer either question. Good luck!

Thanks again for passing them along!

Oh yeah - def need to get back to some Chip Theory games at some point. :) Thanks for the comment!

Hey Phillip! Not looking likely. Honestly not even sure I played enough new/new-to-me solo games in 2024 to justify it!

@@SoloPlaythroughs Well, I do think your top games have changed, based on things you have said in the last several months. Maybe something short would be good. I am interested in what you think! By the way, I just got and played Hoplomachus Victorum, and I absolutely love it. If I remember, you said you were waiting for the expansions that make the game shorter... fair. But you could split a campaign into 4 different videos and I think people (and certainly you) would enjoy it.

@ All good points! We’ll see. I’ll be making a bit of a personal announcement at the beginning of tomorrow’s livestream. Really won’t be much time for gaming or streaming in the next 6 months. (But I am looking forward to learning Hoplo at some point!!)

@@SoloPlaythroughs Hoplo is really an easy game to learn. Compared to a lot of games you play, it is child's work. As usual with those kinds of games, its not rules difficult, it is strategy difficult. I was able to be successful in Act 1 1 out of 2 times and then in Act 2 I got demolished pretty quickly. So I need to rethink my strategy...

@ That’s good to hear!

Thanks, Maksuka! 🙂

Oh yeah - the later scenarios in the base game are all wildly flawed IMO. Just brutally difficult…and not in an interesting way.

Yep. Your mastery of numbers is enviable.

You’re welcome, Sam! I’ve only play Age once…but I didn’t like it for two reasons. 1) The whimsical nature of the art does NOTHING positive for me - it really made me far less interested in the world of the game. 2) More importantly, I tend to strongly prefer games that have pre-built asymmetry that makes me have to learn how a certain entity “works” far more than I like games that have you draft into a brand new entity every game. In other words, I enjoy the satisfaction of mastering things that already exist then having to master being better at drafting some kind of strong (sometimes arguably broken) combos. So, while I would play Age again…I can guarantee I’d spend the entire time wishing I was playing Gaia.

@ Thanks for the insight, much appreciated! I bet you are excited for the Gaia expansion! (But do correct me if I am wrong, you are my Gaia expert to go to!)

@@mrsamtheman80 Already have it and played it once. So far, I really love it! They took a big swing here and it adds a lot of interesting depth to the game. 🙂

Hey Cristian! Unfortunately, I think my top 10s are a thing of the past. I'm just not able to play as many new games as I was and my time available for the channel has been drastically cut. Maybe I'll make a community post around the end of the year with my current top list though. :)

@@SoloPlaythroughs Thanks for the answer, and yes, priorities first. Regards!

Great question! But, no, as far as I remember from the rules, you are ALWAYS the visiting team against the automa.

@@SoloPlaythroughs Thanks, I've been playing it wrong. Now it'll be even harder not to hear "The human has been neutralized."

@@nagredmoonstriker252 😂 But at least you get a chance at a defensive save very game!

Excellent points. Excellently made. 🤣

Hey Phillip! Yeah - 20 Strong is a solid small box game. Need to play the other decks more but really like Solar Sentinels as an original IP. As for Burncycle, I played my friend’s copy twice and it is very much not for me. It does some good things but I mostly found it pretty dull and slightly disjointed mechanically. I get why others love it but I vastly prefer TMB and Cloudspire.
