Text of the page (random words):
experience it s good but not great but then you add the unfinished business expansion and it s a solo experience i love the truly feels like star wars that goes a long way to making me love it but i think the very good ai player works so well that it contributes a heck of a lot if there s a problem it s that there s just not enough content to stay interesting day in and day out which is why i ll play it straight for a few days then put it away for a couple months such a shame because with more expansions this would be a killer game final girl truly one of the most unique games in my collection the core game for this dedicated solo actually isn t playable on its own you have to purchase feature films which have a new location a new villain and two new final girls to play most all of the expansions are based on actual horror films everything from nightmare on elm street to alien but here s where things get interesting you can mix and play locations villains and final girls which means even if you have just a handful of films you ve got a lot of options to keep the game feeling fresh dice throne this is the game that got me back into board games after a long sabbatical it s like battle yahtzee but more than that there s a bunch of heroes to choose from with marvel ip thrown in the mix and finding a way to battle them is where the fun is at to play solo you have to use one of the co op expansions which makes for an interesting solo play experience one i enjoy and play often but this is a game that pretty much demands two players to live up to what makes it so great spirit island easily one of the best solo games ever made it scales up well to handle more players easily it s a true solo game meaning you only have to play one handed and still get a full experience the downside is that it can be pretty tough to beat the game is complex and fidgety and has a steep learning curve but in the end it s worth it for the type of games i like star trek captain s chair 20 strong this is a card based decision making game which requires a good strategy to manage the risk vs reward options presented to you arkham horror the card game season 2 this is a game that has a good true solo mode but i always play two handed because it feels hollow if you don t replayability is limited in that you re playing the same scenario over and over until you buy the next one but you can make it feel different by playing different characters the pre built decks you can buy are surprisingly good and an easy way to jump in a game that gets fiddly lost ruins of arnak this is pretty much indiana jones as a board game which would be enough for me if that s all it was because the theming is done so very well but there s a wonderful puzzle element which makes it a great game besides the point what i will say is that the expedition leaders expansion is essential for solo play and if you like campaign games then you ll want to pick up the missing expedition as well ark nova this is a game i love to play true solo but not all the time it s one of those games you just have to be in the mood for what s helped me enjoy it more often is an unofficial solo app called arno which simulates additional players oh how i wish that there were more bots like this to make games more fun to play solo terraforming mars ares expedition this is the shorter and streamlined of the celebrated original terraforming mars it s fun it s crunchy deeply strategic and it s got low overhead for solo heat pedal to the metal this game is most fun with a group but i ve had a blast playing it solo as well the more racers the better obsession there s no disguising it this is downton abbey turned into a board game you play as a family trying to improve your estate with events renovations and staffing to attract wealthy guests who allow you to make even more improvements to escalate your standing in society parks this is likely my choice for best looking game it s simple graphical elements are just so fresh and clean and it plays fantastic and also plays fantastic solo thanks to the automa player you get to compete against endeavor deep sea this is a fun submarine game that builds the game board with tiles and has changing objectives to keep it fresh each time you play there is a pretty big fault in the game that i m not sure is able to be overcome and it s that you can make poor decisions early on which you then have to live with for the rest of the game this can really suck because you re just going through the motions knowing you re likely going to lose i really hope that they can figure a way to back out of these bad decisions because it would make a good game great distilled this is a game about making alcohol that s surprisingly fun to play there s a lot going on and it has a solo mode which is pretty smart in its implementation i like trying different strategies each time i play because there isn t ever only one way to go about your game the recently added cocktails expansion fills an interesting gap in game play but i have yet to decide if it s in a good way forrest shuffle this is a relaxing game that got a darn good solo play automa in the exploration expansion the problem is that it s a bit too easy when played solo despite some confusing scoring mechanics maybe one day they will figure out a way to come up with a solo automa which plays as well as a two player game even via an app somehow because that would make me much more willing to play more often roll player how somebody came up with the idea to turn d d character creation into a game i don t know but i am certainly glad they did this is right up my alley because i love chucking dice and i love dice manipulation games but it gets better there was criticism that this was a game without an endgame which was addressed with the expansions the monsters minions allowed you to actually use the character you create which closed the loop and made the game near perfect cartographers a flip and write game that works beautifully for solo play and uses a theme i love drawing maps it s so easy to pull this out for a quick play that it s always within reach when i need distraction from life critter kitchen this would be a game i play a lot more often if it didn t have such a fidgety set up but once you do get the board set a fun game with cute art that has a great solo automa with some variety to it i almost hate to add even more set up to the game but adding the a la cart expansion makes a good game even better for multi player inexplicably the automa doesn t take the expansion into account like it should which is a real shame for solo players marvel united this is a simple co op game which plays beautifully two or three handed solo because it is so simple i actually like it a lot because i can just relax and enjoy myself rather than have to wrack my brains to play what makes this game such a winner to me is the sheer variety of content that s available to play and i own just about all of it later expansions add things like equipment to make things a little more exciting but the most excitement can be found just picking the heroes you want to play and finding a villain scenario that seems like fun bonus somebody has created a brilliant megaverse tool which leads you through playing everybody against everybody and it s a sight to behold i m loving it even though i ll likely never get all the way through a dc comics version has been kickstarted but given that the game developer is in serious trouble whether it makes it to backers remains to be seen marvel united is also great because the game pieces are so fantastic all 350 of them there s only one blade and there s only ever gonna be one blade i could go on and on but that s probably more than enough to give you an idea of what i like to play if you want to see more just visit my collection on board game geek tags board games categories board games click to it permalink 0 comments click to add yours board game week part one posted on monday september 7th 2026 i am a massive board game nerd i love games in general but board games are a tactile experience that allows me to step away from a computer screen or television screen and decompress in a way that i can t get from a video game there s just something that comes out of opening up a box and taking out the pieces that really hit for me the problem being that board games are expensive yo i shudder to think of how much money i ve spent on my collection it s undoubtedly way too much before i get into everything i think it s important to tell you what my favorite board game of all time is and that game is sorry yes you read that right sorry based on the board game ludo which is based on the game parcheesi which is called pachisi in the original indian sorry is a race home for your four pieces but there are cards which do more than simply move you along a track 4 s move you backwards 7 s can be split between two pieces 11 s allow you two trade places with another player s piece and the titular sorry card sends another player back to the start while you get to take their place with one go your start pieces the game is frickin brilliant and deceptively simple it s luck driven based on the cards you turn but there s a definite strategy element which makes it more than just a mundane chutes and ladders experience knowing how to play a card can be very much more important than what cards you get and it s crazy fun because the game can turn on a dime you can be way ahead one minute then bumped to last place the next the design of the game has changed several times since i first started playing it as a kid i own three versions of it with my favorite being the 1972 version pictured above that i still have the first version i ever played the current version looks like something exploded i rather like the bold vibrant design except for the color slides which look awful and would be so much better if they were the colored solid so the you can t slide on your own color rule is easier to observe instead you have to look at the three colors available then determine if you can slide which is madness but oh well times are always changing what doesn t change is that i still love sorry in all its incarnations tune in tomorrow for more board game nonsense tags board

m still taking time to blog because an all new bullet sunday starts now snek i meant to post this on caturday but forgot this is so jake with his stuffed lion toy mufasa he took that thing everywhere for years i would find mufasa in his food dish the water dish and even the litter box view on threads gotta make sure your best friend is getting enough to eat when they re looking a little thin oh deer i don t have a snek friend i ve got a deer friend now such a pretty girl u s a u s a u s a so proud in an age that science is attacked education is ridiculed and intelligence is mocked this is where we are now how sad business exaggerated but still conceptually true business is war after all middlemen it s insane it s just insane the near constant mantra from politicians continues to be that the usa has the best health care in the world but every conceivable metric has shown that s not true the truth is that it s the best if you can afford it studies show that medicare for all would save one trillion dollars a year and save 114 000 lives annually but we continue to pay health insurance companies to provide worse care for more dollars disgusting unjournalistic getting facts completely wrong on your news story is one thing but editing it so that the original wording is preserved so as to obscure the fact that you got it wrong shitty the edit should have eliminated the word released completely as nobody talks that way bail has been set at 1 million is the only edit which takes responsibility for your misinformation but because they went the dipshit route now we ve got a bunch of read it again assholes in the comments chiding people who commented on the original headline i am so sick of this shit i could vomit if you don t have journalistic integrity don t be a

insistent on getting her pet time when i go to bed but then she started letting me know that she s impatient when i finally go upstairs to brush my teeth and get ready for bed she sits outside the bathroom and meows her displeasure if i keep her waiting it s cute i walk outside and say okay let s go then and she goes running to my bedroom and hops on the bed waiting for me to show up heaven help me if i forget something downstairs and have to run back down to get it when i get back to my bedroom she s on the bed meowing and meowing but now jenny s taken it up a notch after the food
