I wasn't completely sold on Tainted Grail, though I loved the art work and theme.

    A guy on Etsy makes dashboards for Nemesis (colored to match each character) . Still waiting on mine but he just updated that the response is overwhelming and he's like a month out. I had no idea until then that Nemesis had such a huge following.
    My favorite solo is LotR LCG, I own all of it now (except 3 of the mirkwood packs) and it only took selling a kidney.

      Individuals on Etsy sure get busy with their great ideas on organizing and blinging our games. Seems like the popular ones consistently have a good window of turn around before being flooded by word of mouth or social media. Might need to check those out in the future. LOTR LCG is one I still buy each pack for since it was released. Great one! One of two games that got me hooked on solo gaming.

    18:24 - Unbroken is ONLY SOLO by design. Artem plans expansion for co-op. The game is very good (for what it is - light and solo). I would call it mainly a "resource management" game, but it's so well designed as an exploration adventure with combat. The Score is low because people are downvoting frustrated by the logistic/delivery problems of the failed publisher. Or in other words people who doesn't play the game (due to delivery problems) are "scoring" the game. Sad. The game itself (and its author Artem Safarov) deserve very high score.
    Anyway great top25 video. I will buy "Set a Watch" because of it. Thanks.

      Rolling Solo, I’m still waiting for mine too (will forward using a freight forwarding service from US to Egypt). Just waiting for other stuff to forward everything together. I remember that they made a huge fuss about the solo mode when they introduced it less than 48 hours before the end of the campaign when they reached the 1M USD milestone. The funny thing is that one day earlier in a live Q&A they were saying “No, it’ll be really hard to do that”, pulling the legs of all backers 😁

      Your list is very diverse and I understood as you said many were not yet played, what your position was.
      I am simply refering to many other solo reviewers, none of which I found said Wingspan was what they wanted solo.
      Many said how they loved it multiplayer and wanted more content.
      However, the ones with more massive experience (not because of being experts), simply stated they would rrach for something else just about every time if it was solo gaming time.
      It can also be the love of newer Solo gamers. It is often how Tiny Epic games end ul higher on these lists as well. Just less experiences.

      Hey, ya a handful I hadn’t played before because the theme or something else didn’t draw me to it to try it.
      In terms of this list as it’s a poll of solo gamers in general, it’s a pretty solid idea of the popular choices based on voting. Might not have been for you, but it seems it was for many others. I need to try it myself as the theme didn’t interest me at all but I’m guessing the gameplay is what’s strong in this one.
