    I don't know what's more depressing, the fact that I'm up 2:30 am YouTubing one player boardgames because I have no friends, let alone a girlfriend to play with, or I'm looking for a Christmas present which I will buy and wrap myself and put it under the tree and then pretend to act surprise when I open it on Christmas day 2020

      For those of us who still prefer the tactile version, I'm right there with you. You may feel alone, but actually you're not. Just think, when you're up at 2:30 am watching this video, others are too. I also head over to Reddit (r/soloboardgaming) where you can find a great community of solo gamers in discussions but also in live chats (in the middle of the night). And as far as presents, I've already bought 3 games for myself to do just that. Nothing wrong with it! Enjoy them. :)

      Last year I watched all kinds of Solo game advice videos, bought myself Field Commander: Napoleon, wrapped it myself and put it under the tree and then pretended to act surprised when I opened it on Christmas Day 2020.
      Best gift ever!

    There's no solo experience like Mage Knight! It has everything, from RPG, exploration, conquest, magic, deckbuilding, and trying to play your card intellegently even when you have a bad hand. It's not only the best solo game in my list, but also one of the best game I've ever played.

    • @TheBrothersMurph
      @TheBrothersMurph  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@TheBrothersMurph You can buy Tabletop Simulator on Steam for 19,99 (euro's, not sure what it is in dollars) and it has workshop integration, so you can literally play almost every popular boardgame for free in a fully interactive digital table setting. It's absolutely genius and I've used it to play Mage Knight, Eldritch Horror, Arkham Horror LCG, Lotr LCG, spirit island, gloomhaven, the list is endless.

    Love video and the enthusiasm, some really helpful thoughts too. I'm playing a lot of Zulus on the Ramparts, a solo game I think you will like. The AI simply moves one, some or all of the Zulu units a random number of spaces closer to the defences of Rorkes Drift. You need to use the cards to build defences, fire volleys, put out fires etc. Before you get over run. Simple but effective play but so difficult to get right!

    You guys should break it down next year with big box and filler solo games as they offer unique experiences (and give more titles the props they deserve!)
    Right now I am LOVING Blitzkrieg! (solo is as good as 2p). Small box Maquis and Orchard along with the aforementioned. Big box I am digging Death May Die, Tainted Grail, and Vindication. Really excited to play Anachrony

    Nice to see you guys! If you like heavy Euro's, Gaia Project has an amazing automa system. If you are ok with crazy rules overheard, Mage Knight is amazing. Arkham Horror LCG is an amazing story driven solo experience (dark ambient music adds a lot). Those are probably my three favorite solo games... Onirim, Too Many Bones, Coffee Roaster, Gloomhaven, and Teotihuacan are also all a good time.

    • @TheBrothersMurph
      @TheBrothersMurph  4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I LOVE that you guys picked mostly games that are not solo-only. There are a lot of games out there that are 1+ players or like you said, have home-brewed solo variants. These are the game reviews that, as a solo player, I find most helpful. For instance, right now, I am trying to choose my next medium weight game which is rare to find in a solo-only production. I was most interested to hear your comments about Viticulture and Feast for Odin.
    As far as my favorite game to solo in this category, it remains Robinson Crusoe: Adventures of a Cursed Island. Oh my, so good solo. After all, Robinson didn't have his BFF with him, just Friday and Skip, the dog.

  • @ShimmerArc

    It's a real bummer; as I can't play at home, most of my games are at other people's flats! Just bought Wingspan to solo, but also teach one of my brothers. The camping table is coming out. Will have to look at the other games I've been saving for later introduction to my groups. Keep up the good work. You've given me some ideas. It would be a long 12 weeks with games.

  • @sirvliam
    @sirvliam 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great choice on AFFO! Blackout Hong Kong solo is one you guys might like. The multi player has very limited interaction anyway, and the solo makes an unlucky dice roll feel more like a challenge to overcome. The final scoring is points based and you get a certain # of ⭐️ based on how many points you score in a game (you have to hit a minimum threshold to score any ⭐️) at the end of the campaign you add up your stars for a final rating.

    • @TheBrothersMurph
      @TheBrothersMurph  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      We've gotten mixed reviews from friends on Blackout, but we've still wanted to try it. And knowing it's got a good solo surely helps its chances

  • @RossEphgrave
    @RossEphgrave 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Here are some more honourable mentions to consider... Race for The Galaxy and Clans of Caledonia - which have solo modes. Castles of Burgundy, Stone Age and Azul are fantastic two player games that can still be enjoyed as one playing two. When I get real ambitious and play me, myself and I 3 player solo mode, Kingsburg 2nd edition can be challenging yet do-able. But my new favourite game is Village plus expansions and with Village Port it is a blast as solo, 2 or 3 player counts! Like your channel keep up the great work 👍✌️🆗😁✅👌

    - Deep Space D6
    - Nemo's War (it would be a ten if it was space-themed)
    - Star Trek Frontiers
    - Hostage Negotiator
    - Onirim
    Interestingly The 7th Continent (too computer gamish) and Robinson Crusoe (theme), Friday (theme) did not work as well for me.
    Stay safe guys!

    I haven't played a lot of games solo, but Ex Libris is my favorite game to play solo. In this time of self isolation, I've been looking to play more of my games that have a solo mode. I was surprised just now to find out that I have played more of the ones with official solo variants solo than I haven't. I have 17 games that have unofficial solo variants, which I plan to work in at some point. My second favorite game to solo is Spell Smashers.

    I play a variant of Legendary where I use a deck of Ambition cards and a deck of Horror cards. I draw an Ambition card right after drawing a Villain card. I play a Horror card right after defeating a Mastermind Tactic. Creates some nice variation, story and difficulty to the game. It also balances difficulty while only having to play 1 hand. As a lot of people play 2 handed solo games.

    I totally agree with your number 1. The beat your own score mechanic is kinda meh, but there isn't really an AI to get in your way and it's fun to just build your village and try and become a successful jarldom. I also play with the "if you don't beat 100 you lose" rule. I finally "beat" it on solo a few nights ago and got a score of 143. Felt so satisfied.

    A couple of light games that I like to solo are Sagrada & Welcome to . . . For a heavier and very thematic experience, Robinson Crusoe 2nd edition is one that I have played most often. I like all of the replay ability with all of the different scenarios even though I mostly play the Scenario One.

    I played Zombicide Black Plague/Green Horde last week, and I've done it a few times before. You just need to keep track of which hero you activate. I just put a peg in the "0" slot of the wounds and take them out one round, then place them back in on the next. I love it, because I always tell a little story as I go. Have the characters yelling at each other....

      Ha!!! Do you have the companion app? Makes playing the game sooo much easier, and I can assume it would make solo-ing much much easier as well. As everything is done in the app. The only physical things you need are the boards, tokens, and mini's. Everything else, cards, dashboards, etc is in the app. We literally recycled everything else in that game because we'll never go back
