    I played Everdell solo this month and love trying out all the expansions! You’re definitely introducing me to new board games to look into solo.

      Very nice! I STILL need to try Everdell solo. Maybe I will try to do that this month! We only have the Bellfaire expansion. What other expansion do you recommend for solo play? So glad! Love introducing games to people. 🥰

    Found your channel yesterday through your ‘comfort games’ video and subscribed right away and binged a load of your videos, so many beautiful games I’m gonna check out, so thank you! Your taste in board games is just 👩‍🍳😗 and very similar to my own taste! There’s so many channels where I’m only interested in a couple of games but yours I want every game you post haha so super glad to have found your channel. Do you have a board game geek account? Would love to see your full collection/ratings!!

    I've been playing a lot of Final Girl lately while I'm waiting for my Series 2 to arrive. Easily my favorite solo game! I love the crazy stories that can come out of it when an event card makes some unexpected (and sometimes hilarious) twist happen.

    • @TheBoardGameGarden

    I love the idea of a solo challenge but i feel cascadia is hard to compare if you don't take into account which version of each animal you get. Some are naturally harder to get points, work better with others etc.

    • @jamesbrazeal3847
      @jamesbrazeal3847 Рік тому +3

      Yes when Legendsdm and I run the challange we just stipulate which version of each animal to use

      Completely understand where you are coming from Josiah. 😊 Like James said that is what they do over on Ruel's Discord and I really enjoy that! But I want the point of the TBGG Solo Challenge to be more about just playing the specific game in any way each person wants. More about the connection than the comparison of scores if that makes sense. So everyone doesn't need to be on equal playing fields.

    I am working through my solo game collection...finally learning a bunch of games on my SoS! I played Orchard, Ganz Schön Clever, Under Falling Skies, and Three Sisters. I tried to start simple and then ramp up the game weights through the month. (Bonus, I also put together two super cute puzzles from mudpuppy!)

    Hi, nice video.
    I have played the Castle of Burgundy Solo mode and I agree, the rule that you must win every round is annoying.
    This month I played solo:
    - Lord of the Rings LCG.
    - Oh my Goods.
    - Call to Adventure: Epic Origins
    - Fleet the dice game.

    I'm not usually a fan of solo only games, but Final Girl is great. I think the horror theme/tropes was what really drew me in and hooked me. They did such a great job with the mechanics, theme, and little references. I'm looking for more heavily thematic solo games.

  • @jjrathkamp9021
    @jjrathkamp9021 Рік тому

    So glad Cascadia won! I’ll definitely solo that this month. Especially after my rough February of solo gaming. I personally played Dwellings of Eldervale solo, twice, and got beat bad both times. Like you, I also soloed Wayfarers. I got the space focused AI and holy crap did I get whooped! Finally, I also played Final Girl once. I have Slaughter in the Groves and I got wrecked by Inkanyaba in that one too! Oof, I need to get better😅

  • @andrewwagner3462
    @andrewwagner3462 Рік тому

    Wayfarers is just fantastic! I played 4 times after picking it up last month. I've only played the Townsfolk and Upgrade AIs, and was able to beat Townsfolk on the third try! I love the idea of the caravan, what a unique way to work with dice!

    • @TheBoardGameGarden

    Thanks for the video! Always my favorite of the month -- along with those which include Jason. Those are always a ton of fun! :) I'll try to join the solo challenge next month 🤞
    Wayfarers looks like a ton of fun! I only have Architects of the West Kingdom and I love it, so I'm very much looking forward to this. Also, thanks for the heads-up on the Scholars Kickstarter, I had not realized :)
    My solo games for the month:
    Lord of the Rings LCG (14)
    Battles of Normandy - A Solitaire War Game (13)
    Hostage Negotiator (8)
    Cartographers (3)
    Legends of Andor (2)
    Flamecraft (1)

    I love Twilight Inscription. Only played it solo, i would like to try it at 2-3 players.
    I also agree on an expansion with more goals.
    When I tell you I was so depressed when I was attempting to play Final Girl one day. I couldn't wait anymore for season 2 to arrive, so I bought one of the season 1 boxes. I was about to start setting up and then the realization hit me, I don't have the core box 😫😫.
    Loving the Cascadia solo challenge. That's one of my favorites and currently working my my through the scenarios.

    Keep an eye out for Legacy of Yu, the next game in Garphill's Ancient Anthology and their first solo only game! A little bit West Kingdom, a little bit Hadrian's Wall. And it's a fully resettable campaign that adjusts difficulty as you go. Backers receiving in the next couple of months.

    I played 32 different solo games in Feb. I wanted to start off strong on the year's goal of 100 different games played. I played cascadia a couple days ago and was going for the scenario where you need 3 foxes played and a score which is high for me. I had to spend the bonus point item to get new animal discs to come out to even see 3 foxs in the whole game. won the scenario but close call.

    Castles of Burgundy the card game is very good, I remember it was the first video of a game being played I watched! (hence one of my first games)
    I should play it again (I remember one time when I played outdoor... and a gush of wind! LOL!)
    I'd like to try Final Girl, as I like horror movies! (not too gore however. Saw or Hostel are not for me)
    I don't know On Tour, you make me discover it! It seems very exciting! Same thing concerning Àgueda. It' a beautiful game.
    I don't remember which games I played in February, not many, being busy to tidy up my house, store my stuff for my future move.
    But I bought Dice Hospital the Roll 'n Write and was disappointed. Not many things to do, no satisfying combinations... It looks like the first roll 'n write of 2018 , and even Welcome to your new home has more meat around the bone! (Is this said?).
    Zombicide Gear Up is so much funnier!
    ah, and of course I began Subterra II
    It's as fun as the first Subterra. I died very quickly in my few trials ha ha!
    I prefer "The Descent", the movie atmosphere of Subterra I than the "Indiana Jones" feeling of Subterra II but both are first rate games.They are simple to understand, very hard to win, anyway, the game is the fun!
    I'm quite certain you'd like it. Them !
    I'm waiting for Boussanga, an abstract/puzzle game (like Gorinto, or Baron Voodoo). The videos are exciting.
    thanks for the video Jenna, I always discover new things !
    Bons jeux!

    5:45 So why would we ever want to play The Card Game, as opposed to The Board Game, if that is the case? It takes up just as much space as The Board Game, with no dice. To me, I would much rather just play The Board Game - and if I wanted a different experience - lighter - than I would play The Dice Game.
