Thank you for your kind comments. I did want to give a sense of each of the games, as I tend to find I get a better feel for whether a game suits me if I can see the components and understand the gameplay.
I also liked the inclusion of “here, I’ll play a little bit.” And the damning of the weather - even here in Texas it’s gloomy lately. Excuse to leave my bicycle in the garage and enjoy a little solo gaming.
Really appreciate this as I also like to have some relaxing solo game options for the very reasons you mentioned. I like that you gave each a quick play - very helpful. Bloody Inn looks right up my alley 👍 I have been playing small footprint, quick playing games like Orchard/Grove, Sprawlopolis, and Skulls of Sedlec with the Crown of Bones expansion which makes it solo.
I also like Skulls of Sedlec! I used to own Orchard but found I didn’t feel the game had a great deal of variety. I’ve been meaning to pick up Grove or the new one as the scoring objectives look like they make the game really variable.
I love Cascadia and Cartographers. Another game I play solo a lot is Calico. Lastly, I've just ordered Railroad Ink which I've played a bunch on BGA but I just want to have the physical game. I really enjoyed seeing you play through a few turns whilst also explaining how to play, it felt pretty natural and more like you teaching me in person rather than a more formal "how to play" tutorial type video.
Thanks for watching! I really wanted to give a sense of the different games so people could see if they work for them too. I’m glad you liked the format, I’ve got a video planned for February that I’m going to do in a similar style. I don’t have Calico although I love cats. I wasn’t sure if it was maybe a bit similar to Cascadia? I do like the look of Railroad ink. I think rolling to get the shapes you draw is a really neat idea, and it’s nice and compact which means it’s right up my street!
Lost Expeditions, rolling realms, Dice Cards, Welcome to, Herbaceous, Floriferous, Fliptown and Rustling Leaves are a few games that i take when i go camping and just to relax. very fun games. easy travel games also.
Haha! It would make a brilliant TV series! What a great idea 🤣🤣 I had one hilarious game where policeman after policeman entered the hotel and I had to keep killing them because I couldn’t bury the bodies 🤣🤣
why no subtitles? Please set your language to english. TIA 3:50 add painter's tape on the back of the squares to give them enough friction. And your lamp has terrible glare. Friay btw has 4 loss conditions, one is not in the book. FF found the 4th while playing the app version. If you're capable of print and play, Rove, Ancient Realm, Galdor's Grip may be for you. Myself I would play Shephy, or Palm Island but both are probably too simple for you.
Thanks for the feedback. As I may have said elsewhere I’m very new to this and still learning how best to film and edit, and my equipment is extremely rudimentary at the moment. Over time I’m sure the technical aspect of my videos will get better as I develop more skills.
@@BoardGameBadger TH-cam Studio settings have nothing to do with equipment. Simplifying stuff to bother with in your life by automating them. I had to change my settings since I include the year of filming from 2023 to, well, 2024. It pays to look into these. youtube studio settings that you can set once: your tags (include your youtube name there), playlist descriptions, captions, native language and timestamps. HTH ♥
I appreciate that this isn't just a list of the 6 games, but you take the effort to show us the games and describe the gameplay

Very good games! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
I love playing Friday and The bloody inn sometimes. Something that is on my list too is Three sisters.
Sounds like we have similar tastes! Thanks for watching!

I love playing friday and i want to try Three Sisters too. Thank you❤
I should do a play through of Three Sisters sometime in the autumn. It’s such a nice cosy game.

The lost expedition is too tough. I won once, but it was thanks to a series of happy accidents.
I keep looking at Herbaceous as it oooks so relaxing. Lost Expedition is brilliant! But so tough!
@@BoardGameBadgerherbaceous and floriferous are both fun relaxing games. They are from the same publiaher
bloody inn is hilarious~ can be a UK parody TV series 🤣🏨🫠🔪⚰️💰👮♀️
Haha! It would make a brilliant TV series! What a great idea 🤣🤣 I had one hilarious game where policeman after policeman entered the hotel and I had to keep killing them because I couldn’t bury the bodies 🤣🤣
I like to solo play Legendary Encounters: Alien. It is relaxing, although it is a hard game to win (I always assume I'm going to lose).
you have the expansion The Cairnes? 🤣
I don’t! Do you recommend it? I’ve seen a few second-hand copies around
