Final Girl is life. HOWEVER, Turing Machine deserves a honorable mention as one of the most brilliant boardgame designs ive ever experienced

@BlamBlamTheMonkey 16 дней назад

I don't know you, but I can tell by this that I'd like you!

@NorthStarGames1 16 дней назад

Thank you so much for including Oceans: Solo in this list! It's such an honor!

@linguiststravelbug 16 дней назад

I love Obsession solo- so I can take my time reading all the flavour text without feeling like I'm holding up the game!

@jamshidzonoozi3985 16 дней назад

I really enjoy Gentile Rain. I can relax and play but still be challenging.

@lizcohn7622 16 дней назад

My favorite solo games change weekly, but this week I’ve been enjoying the Bloody Inn and Deckula. My favorite ButtonShy games this week are the Last Lighthouse and Antinomy. Thanks for the Giveaway opportunity!❤

@allsmile 16 дней назад

I think Three Sisters is my favorite solo game at the moment, so I’m suuuuuper excited for whatever they have coming.

@adityarajivratnam6863 16 дней назад

My favorite solo game is Spirit Island. However, I also absolutely love Turing Machine for its innovate design, and I am really looking forward to Ada's Dream.

@shawnpetsche 16 дней назад

Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective for a long sesh, Fliptown for a short one.

@tracyyann. 16 дней назад

Final girl is just so special. I have not played a solo game like it. It’s a unique experience every time, the unlimited mix and matching. It’s just so much fun!

@evannadeau3938 16 дней назад

Grand Austria Hotel w/ Let’s Waltz expansion (plus hotels mod. Included) is soooo good. Idk what it is but I absolutely love it solo. I instantly played it a second time and many since

@DeathxStrike 16 дней назад

final girl is getting a lot of deserved love here but for me, nemesis takes my #1. it never fails to give me a tense cinematic feeling every time it hits my table

@ClaudiaRodriguez-yq1qx 16 дней назад

can you play that solo? isn't it too long?

@leekvi 16 дней назад

I’m actually a big fan of lucidity. I really like the quality of the dice as well as the push your luckness of it

@UnluckyHydra 13 дней назад

Agreed! Cool game.

@Kmhutchins30 16 дней назад

I love Castles of Burgandy special edition solo chautoma for my long solo favorite game and Joan of Arc: Orleans Draw and Write for my short solo favorite game. Thanks for having the giveaway. Ada's Dream looks fabulous!

@b.deniseruark6163 16 дней назад

I agree that Final Girl is an uber awesome game (can’t wait for Season Three to ship). I also love The Bloody Inn! Jamie, your Solo Mode inspires me to play more solo games. Thank you for sharing your gaming skills with us!

@andreatiag 16 дней назад

Favorite solo game is Final Girl! I took a chance when I found it on Kickstarter years ago because I had never played solo games before and now it’s my favorite way to play.

@corinnajuras-tabletopsavants 16 дней назад

I love playing Sagrada solo, it fills my sudoku-loving heart!

@JJ_TheGreat 16 дней назад

Wow, I had never thought of Sagrada like that... But you are so right: it is like a sudoku puzzle!

@chaps5970 16 дней назад

My favorite solo is Regicide. Thanks for all y’all do and for a chance at giveaway.

@Adam-cx7ff 16 дней назад

My all time favorite solo game is For Northwood. Great replayability, simple rules & quick. It just beat out Onirim.

@ajcrosby87 16 дней назад

My favorite solo game, hands down, is Final Girl. You have so many great games on this list...many of them are on mine as well. Great video as always, Jamie!

@dizzyduck1725 16 дней назад

❤ that you don’t kill the spiders. We have a red solo cup labeled “Spider Cup” so we can catch and release. 😊

@thegreatdane908 16 дней назад

Right now my favorite solo game is Aeon's End, after playing dominion and then getting to play Aeon's End is basically like a Co-op/solo dominion boss battler and it just clicked, very fun! Also have very much loved Set a Watch solo, very fun puzzle! And on the topic of "top ten lists" I have really enjoyed people recently doing like Top Ten games I played in the last month or just recently. I like that because then it is you are not trying to compare all of the games you have ever played at once and have more recent experience to go off of and talk about. I know you guys have done it for a few conventions and things like that and I always love to see them!

@llainy 16 дней назад

First time to comment on your videos, I really love your channel!! ❤ I’m usually not a solo player, but my favorite solo experience was playing Robinson Crusoe solo when I tried to learn it. Failed miserably, of course, but was captivated by the experience and the theme.

@eloblht 16 дней назад

My favourite solo board game at the moment is Draft & Write Records. I am OBSESSED with it right now. Another one could be Honey Buzz, there's just something about it that makes me so relaxed!

@buckne35 16 дней назад

Legendary Encounter: Alien is my favorite solo game. Love the movie setup and theme

@FollywoodUndead 16 дней назад

Three Sisters is easily my favorite solo game, but with Cartographers not far behind! I'm so excited for the revamp of Three Sisters :)

@ste5326 16 дней назад

My favourite solo game is the one that got me into gaming as a co-op and that's the order of vampire hunters. It is a bit along the theme of zombicide but with a twist. Not many people have heard of it but is sentimental as my starting "big" game so will always be in my top ten I think

@jorisschelfhout2348 16 дней назад

Are you backing the new order of vampires game?😊

@ste5326 16 дней назад

@jorisschelfhout2348 not sure, can't really afford it at present, I did look at it previously but decided against it, keep going back to it but never seems to be the right time, have to prioritise where my money goes at the moment, which is a shame as would save a lot of money if I backed it compared to buying retail

@Fohlken 12 дней назад

Slay the Spire for me. Over 60 hours in 3 weeks between solo and 2 players coop.

@meganmoore1452 16 дней назад

My favorite game to play solo lately is Spirit Island! I play as either one or 2 spirits at a time, and either way is fun. 2 spirits is a little more brain burney, but the synergies you can create can be so exciting to explore! I played with Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares and the Oceans spirit, and that game was so fun because you use Bringer to scare the invaders towards the Ocean, and then have Ocean gobble them all up and get tons of energy, while moving through the Fear deck at lightning speed! Highly recommend haha

@damienleoskyangel9350 16 дней назад

Iron Helm is my current fav! Thank you

@RoccoPaco1 16 дней назад

My favorite solo board game is The Lost Expedition. Thanks for the giveaway!

@Crimsonboardgames 16 дней назад

Such a great list! I recently got Kinfire Delve and I'm loving it a lot!! Final Girl will forever be one of my favourites ❤

@Golden_Mustang 16 дней назад

For something longer, I love playing Robinson Crusoe and Obsession as solos, for something shorter, I love Black Sonata and Fliptown.

@wesleytyrer5222 15 дней назад

I’m really getting into Final girl. I am glad you are giving more options for 1 player games. Thank you.

@davidboard820 16 дней назад

Love Final Girl but favourite has to be Mage Knight

@HeeeeySteve 16 дней назад

We are traveling on a plane tomorrow and I find solo games best when traveling so I love button shys solo series quite a bit as my favorite for a plane but right now my favorite bigger solo game is Libertalia. I appreciate the giveaway and thanks to Alley Cat. They make very good games. I enjoy the channel! The tour of the studio was especially fun.

@LlamaLordofDeth 16 дней назад

I haven't played a lot of Solo board games, but my favorite out of the few I have played is Terraforming Mars. I like that it becomes a race to fully terraform Mars within a set number of turns instead of just outscoring your opponents to win.

@iandonnell 16 дней назад

Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite solo game these days is Navajo Wars. I haven’t come close to a victorious session yet, but I really love how the instruction display works as the engine for the enemies.

@NewpDoggyDawg 16 дней назад

Warps Edge is my favourite solo, followed closely by Final Girl

@danandcarriemays2493 16 дней назад

I am just starting with solo using games I already own, and my favorites so far are Sagrada and a Patchwork variant I found online. Love Cascadia, too. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

@emtking3385 16 дней назад

Yes I love final girl too. Did Jeff paint the minis for it? I also liked solo Cosmoctopus and Canvas.

@SkyelarkFilm 16 дней назад

My favourite solo is Final Girl. It is just my top tier solo game experience. I think a close second for me would have to be Cartographers though when I just need something very chill to unwind with.

@ChristinaPlans 16 дней назад

Final Girl and Castles of Burgundy I think... maybe Orleans! Thanks for the giveaway!! Excited!

@PointTakenAway 16 дней назад

I don't even play solo games and here I am watching this!

@JJ_TheGreat 16 дней назад

I don't either - but I may start playing games solo - as I don't really have people to play games with - and so solo gaming is better than no gaming...

@codya_jones 16 дней назад

calico is definitely my favorite solo game! i love how puzzle it feels, and i hardly ever pay attention to other player boards if im not playing solo, because the joy in the game (for me) is the “thinky-ness” that really scratches an itch in my brain. the challenges definitely make it better than the base game! also i have always really wanted to play final girl, so i’ll have to buy one of the scenarios!

@ameraceffj 16 дней назад

My favorite solo game is Cartographers, especially since I picked up all of the extra expansion maps. Planet Unknown is a close second.

@aaronbohm5397 16 дней назад

Favorite Solo Game: Mage Knight

@patriciagrieve2341 16 дней назад

Final Girl is my favorite solo game!! Thank you for a chance to win this great giveaway!!

@laurapayne2209 16 дней назад

Love your channel and love this list, thanks for all the work you put into these! I’ve been getting way into solo gaming this past year - my fave battle type solo game is Marvel Champions and fave chill solo game is probably Lost Ruins of Arnak, though it’s really hard to pick

@Kar-Nor 6 дней назад

I love so many solo games that it’s hard to narrow it down to just one, but I will say Obsession as my sentimental favorite.😊

@IlPiTube 16 дней назад

I’m with you on this one. Final Girl is my favourite solo game. By far. I even made up some sort of campaign mode. In short, I select five final girls which are high school friends, and then they go from one horror film to the other for five scenarios. When one of them dies, the next one gets a little boost for that scenario. Thematically speaking, one girl leave a weapon hidden for the next friend. It’s a bit silly, but I enjoy it. I tried twice and never got to the end of the fifth scenario, so far.

@siri4172 16 дней назад

Three Sisters is my favorite solo and I am very happy to hear a new version is on the horizon!!

@MrsJessicaHillard 16 дней назад

I’m in a season with a toddler that doesn’t stop moving so my favorite solo play lately has been Roll to the top. I’ve enjoyed Harmonious, Cascadia, and Kingswood solo.

@wcmartino 16 дней назад

My favorite is Halls of Hegra. Lots of great games on your list. Thanks for the opportunity to win a game to add to my collection.

@luckylittlepenny 15 дней назад

Thanks for the chance at the giveaway! My fave solo game is also Final Girl, I can’t wait for series 3 to arrive but in the mean time I'll add that Dr.Fright is my favourite killer and Winguard Cottage or Wolfe Asylum are my favourite maps!

@utahman06 15 дней назад

I love Set a Watch so much. Just got Doomed Run and the new standalone. Made it through the first run and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very nice little puzzle.

@TheFamilyCrocker 13 дней назад

Very new to solo board gaming, but my favorite so far is Cascadia. There are so many good choices though I'm very excited to continue trying more!

@jarrodbadgley3954 16 дней назад

I like worker placement. So my favorite solo game right now is Raiders of the North Sea. The duel action is unique, and the randomness of what spaces get blocked makes you really strategize your turn.

@robvitaro5545 16 дней назад

You listed a bunch of games I've never heard about and now need to check out! (Just when I thought I was done shopping for a while!) I don't play enough games solo, but my favorite experience has to be Viticulture. The Automa is easy to manage and it provides a good challenge.

@Rhonna_Roo 16 дней назад

My current favorite solo game has to be Kinfire Delve . I'd LOVE for you to do a solo how to video for Marvel Champions! I have the game but have been struggling to learn. Love the content, thanks for the chance to win a giveaway too!

@mr.k7356 12 дней назад

I love playing Horrified (Universal Monsters - but all of the editions are fun) solo and with others. I am super excited for the World of Monsters edition coming out. And thanks for doing the Giveaway, I have been eyeing this one up as well!

@jordanpressnail9540 16 дней назад

My favourite solo game of all time is definitely Final Girl, I’ve really fallen in love with it this last year

@KitCatherine 16 дней назад

Thank you for the giveaway chance! This is a great list. So many of my favorites are on your list. right now, my top solo game surprised me… Stardew Valley using Maggie’s campaign mode with the game’s sound track in the background. Haha

@Bogrin 16 дней назад

Finally got a copy of Onirim and I really love it! Perfect peaceful solo game for me!

@victoryrollpodcast 16 дней назад

We here at Victory Roll love a good racing game. The solo version of Heat is really meeting the fancy of Alex right now. Love y’all’s work thanks for the videos!

@reniervanheerden9159 16 дней назад

My favourite solo board game right now is Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion! Still very new to the hobby, so thanks for this awesome list!

@petelarsen2127 15 дней назад

My favorite solo game is Under Falling Skies. I found the print & play version during early covid and have enjoyed the published version for dozens of plays for years. Stays fresh, meaningful decisions, great game!

@jacquelyncurran9332 16 дней назад

I have recently just gotten into playing solo games. Nice way to relax after a long day! My current favorites are Calico, Cartographers, and the Isle of Cats Explore and Draw.

@btakahira 10 дней назад

Right now my current favorite solo is At The Gates of Loyang. The art is so simple yet very beautiful to look at. The gameplay is very smooth and it can be very challenging to get to the highest scores if you are looking for that. Thanks for the giveaway! ❤

@Sarah-wn8kz 16 дней назад

My favorite solo game of all time is definitely Final Girl all Feature films mixed and matched. I love THEM 💗

@messymari 16 дней назад

My favorite solo game is probably Dungeons, Dice, and Danger. Followed by Troyes Dice and Under Falling Skies. I've just started playing La Granja solo on BGA and I'm enjoying it a ton. Ack, I love them all! All the games!!! Thank you for hosting the giveaway. I love the theme of the Ada Lovelace game. Also very excited about Luthier, although I'm afraid it might be too heavy for me. Is Luthier on your radar at all? Would love to hear FTM's thoughts on it!

@jocelyndpainter7057 15 дней назад

Didn’t even realize that I was wearing a Final Girl shirt that I got at GenCon last year until you mentioned it as your #1! It is a great game. I prefer to play it cooperatively because the dice hate me 😂

@SomeBunny-h3p 14 дней назад

Giveaway entry: Right now New York Zoo is my fave cause of the animeeples 😊 I'm just starting out with solo gaming and discovered your channel. Thanks for the recs!

@demonhunter651 16 дней назад

Set a Watch series is amazing. I recently received the latest one and the Doomed Run campaign, and I cannot wait to get it to the table

@bertyoh 16 дней назад

For whatever reason, farming/ag games are what I want to mostly solo. Fields of Arle rises above all with Viticulture Essential (and Tuscany) right behind. The giveaway game looks super intriguing; I’ve had my eye on it for a minute. Appreciate you!

@BoardGame_Bird 16 дней назад

I'm really getting into solo games more and more. So far Cascadia and Harmonies are my favourite to play solo😊

@AugmentedAugust 15 дней назад

I love Spirit Island and Feast for Odin solo, but lately I haven't had as much time and energy for them. I've been having a blast with Final Girl and Project L (using a solo variant from bgg because I did not like the official solo at all). Really appreciate how quick and smooth they both are

@Kjomes 14 дней назад

Favorite solo game is The Isofarian Guard. It is a massive campaign game, but with a wonderfully easy save system. 300 hours of the most immersive board game experience I have had, with wonderful writing, art, and even music. Technically it is for 1-2 players, but definitely best at 1 player.

@tabletoptoby 14 дней назад

Thanks for the list - a few ones I should check out in there. All time solo game…that’s a tough one! I’d say Dwellings of Everdale right up there. The mechanic of being able to see the options that the AI might do creates a game of not only maximizing your engine, but also of blocking them. So, really gets the feeling of playing against a real player. Honorable mentions are Final Girl (for the fun stories that develop and the joy when you succeed), and Dune Imperium (great solo mode with the app makes it super fast on admin, and every time is it’s own little puzzle of the options you have before you).

@GenXMoose 15 дней назад

My favorite solo game is: Frosthaven (2-handed). I've been looking for a solo game to replace it bc table space / setup / tear down is rough! Thanks for the list!

@Board_game_goode 15 дней назад

I think my current top 3 would be Legacy of Yu, Final Girl and Arkham Horror LCG. 😍 Fun video thanks for sharing a couple of new games to go away and look at.

@rockingjohnnyrolling 16 дней назад

So many good games mentioned in the video and the comments. Hard to choose one, but I think I'll go with Mini Rogue. I just love it for its simplicity and quickness. Whenever I have more time and brain power, Imperium classics or Spirit Island are probably my favourites right now. Appreciate the giveaway!

@cathyzampogna1200 15 дней назад

Skulls of Sedlec is one of my favorite solos. Plus Three Sisters. But I had no idea you could play Horrified solo! Thanks!!

@PieterLibaut 10 дней назад

I love Final girl, Witchcraft is also one of my favorites... Though I must say Cyberion would be my number one because it gets to the table a lot more. It's such a fun puzzle.

@GetThisBoardGame 15 дней назад

Great list! Does Jamie have a favourite version of Horrified? I think we're partial to Greek Monsters these days just because it's the newest.

@mrthommo6551 16 дней назад

My favourite solo game at the moment is For Northward. So easy to get out and play with different puzzle everytime.

@OneUniti 16 дней назад

Me too!

@utubingit357 15 дней назад

Me three!

@malvinafis6907 12 дней назад

Great video, Jamie. I currently have struggle tabling games at all. But the most recent surprise for Solo was Black Sonata. Set a Watch, we really enjoy at 2 players, to make some of the decisions together. We player through the new scenario-based campaign. Great fun, can totally recommend.

@malvinafis6907 12 дней назад

Many of the games you have on your list are games that we enjoy at more than 1 player. Recently got Horrified Greek Monsters, too.

@ClaudiaRodriguez-yq1qx 16 дней назад

Just the video I needed, I'm mostly a solo player so sometimes struggle when it comes to chose a new game in the collection....we always need a solo mode. Thanks! Final Girl is also my fav....I like to die in the worst way possible😅

@krittapastt.95 16 дней назад

Though I know what your no.1 is, thank you for your list. Seems like your games are based mostly on the theme, like mine. So, this list is going to be very useful to me. Thanks!

@Mussar523 16 дней назад

Thank you for your content and your Give away! My favorite Solo is Aeons End with Spirit Island catching up.

@MeeplesAndMunchies 16 дней назад

Ohhh…. That’s probably going to have to be one of the Next Station games. Hubby might say For Northwood (right now). We just bought Final Girl. So stay tuned! Thanks for doing this giveaway, Jamie! We love your content so much! Plus, I always love supporting a fellow Canadian! ❤

@summergonzalez9415 16 дней назад

I knew Final Girl would top your list!! My favorite solo game is One Deck Dungeon. Second is Ark Nova which has a very simple solo mode.

@tlance4480 15 дней назад

Love the list! One that I've really enjoyed playing solo is an LCG that I discovered this year in Ashes Reborn! So much content and a lot to dive into with the game (Giveawayyy!)

@misslee7310 15 дней назад

Thank you for hosting a giveaway! 🎉 My all time favourite solo game is Arkham Horror LCG, I can play the same campaigns again and again and never be bored, because the options are infinite and the play is so incredibly immersive! I love changing characters, building decks and trying new strategies, all in such an elaborate and wild story world. I think it’s one of those games that’s classic for a reason! (I also love The Bloody Inn and Final Girl as my Honourable Mentions because choosing one really is too hard) Thank you again, I love your videos so much!! 😊❤

@neilz2869 14 дней назад

Thanks for the giveaway! 7th Continent is the game that got me into the hobby, and remains not just my #1 solo game, but also my #1 overall game of all time!

@aba_dab_o 3 часа назад

Thanks for the video! A lot of x-and-write games would make my top solo games; including Cartographers, That's Pretty Clever, Roll to the Top, Welcome To, and Railroad Ink. (Not sure when the giveaway ends, but whatever. Still want to get my favorites in.) 🙃

@sling56 15 дней назад

I like A Feast for Odin solo. It allows me to try different strategies that I might use when playing with others. So many choices!

@niralipatel8581 16 дней назад

I really like playing calico solo! I also recently got a gentle rain which has been fun to play solo!

@tbroscious 15 дней назад

Dwellings of Eldervale. Though sometimes Red Rising for an easier setup. Thanks for all the great content!

@shanematthews5332 11 дней назад

I enjoy several competitive games in solo mode. If I had to pick a favorite right now I would say The Artemis Project. Great game. Thanks foster the meeple for your great content, and this giveaway. Hopefully Jeff had fun in Alberta, and you'll go next time Jamie. I'm gonna try Horrified solo, Thanks for this video Jamie!
