What a fun video. I love tagging along on people’s game store runs. Your video had nearly perfect pace, from showing a few games, to scanning the sales, to the unboxing. Well done and thanks for sharing!
@@stacie_everdell I appreciate that. I was worried when I do these shop w me videos that they won’t be enjoyable or helpful as I go in blind intentionally. It seems they have a space though. Which is great because it’s kind of like digitally hanging out for me. Glad to have you w me.
I got to play Metrorunner multiplayer at a convention with the designer last weekend. Very interesting game. fulfilling contracts, hacking by making routes with the metal squares, moving around the board to pick up resources (the cubes) to fulfill the contracts, and moving up in influence & notoriety at the bottom of the board. It has a few different moving parts, but it was surprisingly easy to learn. I ended up tied for the win after thinking I was way behind. Will be interested to see what you think of it.
@@melindarhodebeck5511 awesome. I’m down for easy to learn. I have castles of burgundy on the table right now but I’m looking forward to getting Metrorunner soon.
Love this store! I’m from Charlotte but whenever I go to the beach I make sure to hit up this store! Best store I’ve been to in the Carolinas and I’ve been to a lot!
Looks like Rebuilding Seattle was on sale, and it has a great solo mode! It's got a score threshold for win/loss that is perfect, i.e. not too hard or easy. It's got unique starting districts, each with different abilities, and an easy learning curve, so if it sits on the shelf for a while, it's not hard to pull it out and get rolling. It's a keeper for me, and I recommend it.
Leviathan Wilds has a reprint + expansion campaign on Gamefound right now. 4 days left. 11:58 Seas of Havoc is an excellent game with a fun solo mode. Metro Runner's solo mode gets boring really quickly but for a couple of plays it's a lot of fun. Arcs is an endless story with a lot of opinions all around. You either hate it or love it. It seems there is no middle ground.
@@BoardgamesforOneMetro Runner? I backed it. It is, overall, a fun game although on the lighter side. Solo is just beat your own score with a very limited strategy path as the AI focuses on only one method of scoring when it is ahead of you, and an other when behind. So you basically juggle these two scoring methods. There isn't more to it. Edit: Sorry, you meant Leviathan Wilds. No I didn't, I play the hell out of a friend's copy.
@@Biodelic you got it. I forgot to scroll down to see all of your comment. Seas of Havoc has been there for a minute. Always looks almost interesting enough but hard to actually pick it over another.
@@BoardgamesforOne For Seas of Havoc, Man vs. Meeples has a solo playthrough. About 2 years old. Worths to watch for a better impression of the game. Leviathan Wilds has the strech pay option. 😁🙀
I'm very interested in Trail Story, although it appears to be listed as Americana in other online stores, so I'm assuming it went through a name change at some point. Makes it a bit harder to find.
@@JoeHuddleston oh good gravy yes that’s right. I’m that case I was happy with TW. I’ve got a couple things to subtitle in now. Did you know fall flavors isn’t a standalone expansion? No where on the box does it say base game required. They don’t even use the word expansion except for at the end of a long small text paragraph.
@@BoardgamesforOne It's best to push from the cut side. That way, if the paper doesn't break at the cut and pulls away from the board, it pulls away on the leftover part of the punchboard and not the token. For lower-quality punchboard it can result in small tabs being left on the tokens that you'll need to clean off, but it keeps you from tearing the paper on the token itself.
@@BoardgamesforOne He made letter Tycoon as well. I haven't played either. I just know he has made them. He's the co founder of Cardboard Alchemy with Peter Vaughan. Publisher of Andromeda's Edge.
@@Board_game_goode me too! Haven’t played yet. But! First impression is soured so far because they don’t mention anywhere in the box that the base game is required-it is-and the word expansion only occurs once at the end of a long paragraph. But there are plenty of expansions that don’t require base games. I’m fine bc I own the base game but another gamer might not. I wouldn’t have known and would’ve been quite upset.
