Inspired by you and other channels, I played my first solo game this month! Was able to crush Ark Nova 😊
AWH! This makes me so happy! Welcome to the solo gaming world. I still need to try Ark Nova solo! How did you like it? 😊
@@TheBoardGameGarden Thank you! I loved it! It’s a round-tracker system but I know there’s a fan-made ARNO bot for solo too
Why do I feel like we need to be best friends? We are name twins and I don't know many people that love board games as much as me.
AWH! Hey Jenna! 🥰 This comment just made my day. WE ARE TWINS.
I am so grateful for you. You never fail to make me happy even now as my mother has passed away recently :(. Very little makes me smile now, but you do. I hope you know how valued you are.
Marc I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. 💕 Sending you the biggest virtual hug. I am so happy my content can bring you some happiness in this difficult time.
This is a great series for all of us who are keeping our board game loving sides hidden from the rest of the world. :)
I think it's part of who you are when you repeat word, i don't mind it at all! Great video, i love solo gaming too!
HAHA! Thank you! 🥰
I look forward to your solo videos! My solo January games: Friday, One Deck Dungeon, & Welcome To...
yes, I would love to see the livestreams here
😏👏🏻
I see Oros on the shelf which I loved!
We might be playing OROS this weekend! Very excited! 🥰👏🏻
Wingspan was my first ever solo game that I played. And since that I always checking if game has solo rules.
I also really like Genotype, both solo and multi. Still need to play Cellulose - I have it on shelf of opportunity 😉 since like 6 months 😅
My solo games on January: Sprawlopolis, Skulls od Sedlec and Wild Serengeti. Wild Serengeti is nothing specjal for me so I'm happy I tested it before purchase
Concordia is one I'd love to play, didn't even know there was a solo variant!
I've been meaning to actually try out the solo variant for Tussie-Mussie and finally did this past weekend! I'm often fairly good at the base game but I was trounced in solitaire!!
Played Hadrian’s Wall for the first time today based on the glowing endorsement on this channel. What a great game. A lot of satisfying combo building as the years progress. Can’t wait to play again! Thanks for the recommendation Jenna!
In January I've solo played Tiny Towns (I got it on a huge sale) and Wingspan on steam. I need to get more solo games to the table this month. I've been thinking about playing Cascadia or Nusfjord again. I have the solo expansion for Concordia but haven't played it yet. Such a fun hobby. :D
Love seeing the solo games you enjoy Jenna! I'm so interested in Genotype. Also you can play Its a Wonderful World solo on BGA!
NO WAY! Ahhhh! Definitely going and playing some solo It's A Wonderful World! Thanks for letting me know! 😊
Watching you stream Wingspan has inspired me, I'm gonna try it out this weekend. Love watching these cozy recaps. Sowing Solo is a great name.
AHHHH! Yes Reggie! DO IT! And I know right! I'm obsessed with the new series name. 😂👏🏻 Thanks for watching.
I flirted with the idea of buying Its a Wonderful World for solo but held off; you’ve convinced me to have another look! Lovely presentation as ever, thanks for the video
You make me happy.☺️
AWH THANKS! 😊 So glad!
I love Wingspan solo, I'm going to need to try that app. Dinosaur Island Rawr n write is one I really want to try. So glad it has a solo mode.
YES! Wingmate is amazing! 👏🏻
Great list of games! Been thinking about picking up railroad ink. Wonderful world I may need to check as well.
Yeah you definitely need both in your life! 😏 they are great!
One of the games I've soloed most often is Tim Fower's Burgle Bros. 2 - it handles so well solo and if you're a Oceans 11/12/13 fan it really captures that casino heist energy.
Wingspan looks interesting. I saw it in the store the other day but didn’t pick it up because I thought it was a big puzzle. I’ll definitely check out your Twitch channel to see how it plays.
Wingspan is fantastic! 😊
I see you have Earth in the back, that's nice! Can't wait for you to try it out, hope you'll enjoy it :)
Max! Hello! We are so excited to get Earth to the table. 😊 It looks amazing! Congratulations!
Definitely recommend Everdell solo! Wingspan solo is a great experience, glad you enjoyed it!
Yes! Everdell is next on my list of solo games to play! So surprised it has taken me so long to play both Everdell and Wingspan solo! Love them so much. 😊
Been playing Nemos War and shadows/gloom of kilforth so much recently. Theyve been my top solo games for years now.
Eye spy with my little eye…..EARTH!! ❤
Hoping to get it to the table soon! 🥰👏🏻 Looks amazing!
Always interesting to see/ hear games that are good to play solo. Definitely on the lookout for more that scream play me that aren't so intricate I can get non gamers involved.
The only game I played solo in Jan is truly old-school - Fortress America. While technically multi player, if you play each side the best you can out can be done solo.
There is Genotype again, got to see it this time. Great b-roll footage - it looks really good
12:12 I always say AUTO-MA (the 2nd pronunciation you spoke).
PERFECT! Thanks J.J! 😊
I have been playing Turing Machine solo and it has been great. Also Original Run Fight or Die has been good solo as well
I want Turing Machine SO BAD! 😭
@@TheBoardGameGarden amazon $49
@@specialized2dirtshelly54 what!! I was going to say “Canadian Amazon doesn’t usually offer board games for decent prices.” But it actually is! $49.99 and in stock! Thank you so much! 😊
Yes, please upload your Twitch streams here.
😏😏😏
Yes, please upload the solo plays to Twitch. They are great for future reference. Love your videos.
😏👏🏻
I too played It's A Wonderful World solo for the first time this month! Such a pure, fast engine builder. Not much theme, but very satisfying. Rawr n Write is probably the best version of Dinosaur Island, definitely for solo players. Thinky but not over long.
Very nice! They are both so good!
I discovered Railroad Ink Challenge recently (green box and the Eldritch Extension) and I love this little game!
It's a Wonderful World is an excellent game. My scores are er... not that good (once I managed to be the dictator...); anyway it's a very satisfying engine building game. The extension Corruption and Ascendancy brings very powerful cards.
I prefer it to It's a wonderful Kingdom.
the mini. campaign War or Peace is exciting too! I don't know if I'll buy the other extension Leisure and Decay (or is it Decadence?) but I'm very tempted!
I'm so happy that you discovered Wingspan! It's one of my favourite boardgame! I love the theme, the illustrations, the material ; the game itself is fabulous. I've got all the extensions, including Asia. The little board in this last box brings a very enjoyable new mechanism. And you can play it as a separate game, without the big box (what I do).
Oh and I've got Dinosaur Island R 'n W. but still haven't played it!
During January, I played Three Sisters, Look at the stars, the excellent roll 'n write Superskill Pinball 4cade (what a game!!!!) The NightCage again and Dog Park, Extinction.I love these games!
Extinction is a brilliant game and Dog Park so pleasurable and quick.! Both have beautiful material (s?), it's a detail that I appreciate so much in a boardgame.
I discovered Zombicide Gear Up!, the roll 'n write and it's a total success! I highly recommend it!
I played other games but I forgot what.
At the moment I'm reading the rulebook of Freedom the Underground Railroad. It seems to be an intelligent game about a tough subject.
I'm touched by this BG because one of my ancestors was a slave. And another one was a slave-chaser!!! (in Brazil).
And I ordered yesterday another flip. 'n write : Dice Hospital E.R.
and of course, the BG that I was waiting for!!! Subterra II! Subterra is such an enthralling game, even scary! I hope that this sequel will be as captivating!
(one of my cats, Everdell, is giving me hard time just right now: I barely can write on the keyboard, as he won't quit my lap, even if I push him aside!😍 all he wants is kisses and cuddles, and he's purring like a little panther. He's so happy that the tip of his little rose tongue is out, oh my! 🫠🥹)
Thanks for the video Jenna! They are always interesting! Have a pleasant week!
I’m a tactile person and love to handle the pieces of a board game. But have you ever seen the online Steam version of this game? The birds on the cards are still until you activate them, then they come to life by having a beautiful animation and you hear their song. So you have a bunch of cards in front of you that are alive. The song only repeats when you move your mouse over the bird (I think).
I've always been soooo tempted to get Wingspan on my Switch because it does look absolutely FANTASTIC!
I've been really enjoying playing 7 wonders duel with the official solo variant and Agricola! I really want to try Rawr and Write or Dinosaur World sometime!
I've been really wanting to play 7 Wonders Duel solo as well! Just need to buy some printer ink! Or can you just download a digital version? Not sure.
There is an unofficial app, that's what I use!
I really wanna try Genotype! Have you played Cellulose? I was surprised how much I enjoyed it and the automa uses a "strategy map" that is kind of neat.
I have both Genotype and Cellulose. Both solo versions of these games are designed by the same guy, and it's fun to see how much his ideas evolved from Geno to Cellulose.
I haven’t tried Cellulose but I love Genotype enough that I'm sure I would enjoy it as well. 😊
You can play Wonderful World solo on BGA. It’s really good 👍
THIS IS AMAZING! Going to play right now! HAHA!
I was looking forward to your comments on Merchants of the Dark Road after waiting a month for your review. Was this discussed on this video? Or perhaps overlooked? Cheers 🥂
Spoiler! Merchants Of The Dark Road is going to be in a "3 SOLO REVIEWS" video within the next few weeks. 😊
What is your favorite board game app?
I would love a video on her favorite board game apps!
OHHH! That is a great video idea! Keep your eyes peeling for this! 😏👏🏻
Awesome video but where's Penny? 🐶
She is always so camera shy. 😂
Do you prefer Genotype solo, or as normal?
I have actually only played Genotype solo and I REALLY enjoyed it! Hopefully I can get it to the table multiplayer soon to compare.
