Great video on some of my favorite games! While I love all three, War of the Ring is my favorite game so I’m definitely biased. I’m happy to play any of them though! There actually are a handful of solo variants for WotR, my favorite being the Queller Bot which uses some slick flowcharts (on the level of COIN bots in complexity) to emulate a very competent AI opponent.
@@WiseGuyHistory FitG is a great classic game, but very complex. difficulty 10 out of 10. They didnt get the license for Star Wars in those days, so they invented a similar universe and put the game in. You have dozens of movie like characters and also 50+ planets and 2 asymetric sides with different military units. The character cards have different stats and remind a little bit of the old classic spi-game Lord of the Rings. One thing I really like is that the characters have a good chance to be killed unlike SW:R. They have to fight against enemy characters, monsters and enemy military personel and the combats are deadly.
War for the ring exception, especially using the ultimate rework. Rebellion really fun too. Dune good but not as lore heavy for me, good mechanics though

Star Wars is similar to the old AH game "Freedom in the Galaxy" where you also could use your leaders for missions.
Ah I'm not familiar with that, thanks!

Yeah I agree about Dune not being as lore heavy [which kinda worked out ok for me as I'm not as well versed in the lore!].
