    Great video. You can ramble about boardgames to your heart's desire. We have only one game in common but it's a great to know new games. Probably I'll play a couple in BGA. Thanks for your 10 (more or less) solo boardgames list.

    Great list! Sleeping Gods (the original) is such a masterpiece of the narrative adventure genre. Distant Skies reduces the complexity and eliminates some of the more fiddly bits but puts the story more "on rails", Primeval Peril even more so. But I think neither of the sequels compares to the scope, limitless feeling, and open adventure of the original. Still, Red Raven has something to offer to each gamer's style in the SG universe.

    Just saw your video being reccomended and being a mostly solo player had to watch it. Love your enthusiasm about board games and taste and I'm looking forward to your future playthroughs of Obsession and Under Falling Skies. Will check out many of your playthrough videos starting with Calico.which has been on my radar for quite some time. Very easy subscription.

    We have very similar taste! Absolutely love Calico, Three Sisters and Mycelia. In my mind Farmer Edith isn't actually mean, she's just (really badly) trying to help. I see her as the pesky but nice neighbour overwatering my plants when I'm away. 😂

    i thought Eila and Something Shiny or Calico was going to be your #1. I was close! I don't have Eila or Obsession but i hear good things about them. i need to pick them up. If they are good enough for Crimsonboardgames, they are good enough for me! lol continued success to you and your channel

    Awesome list! I’ve gotten into solo board gaming recently, as I have such a busy schedule that it’s hard to sync up a game night with my people. Also, I love solo gaming between my grad school work as a break. I am looking forward to checking out some of the games on your list. Thank you from Los Angeles, California ☀️🌴

    For Lost Ruins of Arnak. The expedition leaders expansion is a must (especially for multiplayer). But even in solo it’ll provide different ways to solve the puzzle of the game. And the newest missing expedition expansion has a 6 game campaign where games have some specific goals rather than just score as much as you can. Honestly both are gonna improve your solo experience.

    • @Crimsonboardgames
      @Crimsonboardgames  Před 2 dny

    Glad to see Calico solo getting some love !
    I love it, but i love it even more with the digital version (on steam) it's such an amazing adaptaiton ! So cozzy and relaxing to play ! (with the zen musics)
    I also love Cascadia in Solo. Really cute and cozzy to play.
    And here are some other i quite love in solo :
    Warp's Edge
    Street Masters
    Marvel Champions & Lord of the rings LCGS
    Astro Knights
    Raiders of Scythia
    After Us
    Heat
    Bullet (Heart)
    Dune Imperium (digital Steam Version)

    I'm not very good at Cafe either, but for some reason it's one of my favorite small solo games. I do use some pricey Century Spice Road upgraded spice/bean bags from Top Shelf Gamer in place of the cubes, which does enhance the play for me. The coffee theme doesn't hurt, either!

    Thanks for a great top 10! I was very close at buying Eila And Something Shiny the other day when I saw it at my FLGS.
