I always appreciate your support! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate it. I’m glad that my video helped you. This is a great game to play with the family and I think your kids will love it! My wife is from Morelos (Cuernavaca) and it’s nice to know that someone from Mexico is enjoying the channel. I’m glad you found the channel and I hope to be seeing you around! Take care.

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!
