Very cool video! We do have some games in common that we both play a lot (Cascadia, Wingspan, the Isle of Cats). I played Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition a few days ago but I didn't quite love it, it felt a bit repetitive at the end with me doing the same 2 phases over and over (Action and Production). Maybe cause it was the easiest difficulty. I also got the expansion since I'd heard it's better for solo but I still haven't played it. Also, I saw you have Dorfromantik Sakura behind you, I got it but haven't played it yet, how is it? Thank you and Merry Christmas
Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition is a game where the beginning focuses alot on building an engine through green and blue cards with red event cards scattered here and there and then by the end you really need to try to milk the benefits of the engine you built primarily through Actions and production (especially for the solo). Most of the fun comes in the engine building and then I personally find the overpowered ending rewarding from a well-built engine. Dorf Romantik is fun. It gives vibes similar to Cascadia when it comes to the matching of landscapes on tiles, but with the challenge being trying to fulfill tasks through matching certain amounts of terrain in groups. The game doesn't really have a win/ loss condition, but rather you unlock more challenges as you go... and the better you do the quicker you unlock new things.
Fun idea for a video. My top plays are: 1. Terraforming mars -189 2. Splendor-88 3. Catan -75 4. Azul- 73 5. First Martian- 61 (almost exclusively solo)
Another TM lover I see. And I am glad you liked this video idea. I thought about doing one at the start of the year that is most played games in 2024, but concerned it might be too close in time to this video... but I did look at my list and there were only a few crossovers with my overall plays list, so it may still work.
