    Oh, thank goodness ! I have viewed so many “reviews” of small games, only to watch the reviewer’s face and studio but not a single frame of the game set-up.
    Thanks for your quick, comprehensive review and an idea of what the games look like on the table . 😁👍

    A lot of new ones for me. Great list. One of my favorite small games is Doom Machine. It’s a tiny dice placement game where you’re trying to defeat a doomsday machine. The machine adds a new card every turn and you have to roll dice and defeat each card. For every card you defeat, you get one more die. Very tense and thinky, and very thematic

      It's a futuristic cowboy card duelling game that has a solo campaign. You have to house rule a few things but it doesn't detract from being a very cool game.

    Nice video! Thanks for some interesting titles that was not aware before. Some of my favorite small box solo games (that are not on your list) are: Railroad Ink, Regicide, Maquis, Assembly, Lux Eterna, Cat Lady, Balada, Judge Dredd: The Curesed Earth and, depending on whether these are considered 'small' - - The Bloody Inn (possibly my favorite of all these), and Falling Skies. I sometimes like games as simple 'time killers' and sometimes I like something a bit more interesting.
    Hope you find something interesting here! Cheers!

It's a futuristic wild west cowboy/monster duelling game that comes with a story mode called Tall Tales... you work your way through a campaign book, duelling monsters and improving your stats and abilities along the way. The combat is very much Rock, Paper scissors... It didn't make my list because the rules have always been a bit janky and require quite a bit of house ruling...

    Wish the star wars box could be smaller

      I suppose it could of been smaller...
      I do like the card separation though, gets to setup quicker I think.

    If you search on TH-cam, I think you will find at least one solo mode demo for the Star Wars game.

      ODD= One Deck Dungeon. It really is a fantastic game as is the follow-up Forest of Shadows.
      I became addicted to ODD and played it for months without getting bored.
      Must say that I will not be buying One Deck Galaxy because the rulebook is a shambolic.
      Give the original ODD but don't blame me when you get addicted and become an insomnia 😂 No,not that bad 😊😊

    I play Terrors of London the same way you play Star Wars and find it very enjoyable, espacially with great amount of chracters you can mix and match. I also enjoy Casciadia for solo game.

    • @thesoloboardgamer6051

      I like the look of Terrors of london, difficult to get hold of a copy. Very much like star/hero realms, so I know I'd enjoy it...

    1:20 forbidden island is too simple for all but the highest difficulty levels. I liked it more than the also excellent Forbidden Desert. Higher highs, lower lows.
    2:14 Pocket Landship: I had to mutilate the cards to cut off parts of them so that they would fit in the box. Most stupid box design ever and I won't buy from the creator ever again. The advertised box was not what you eventually got.
    4:30 Ony-rim, too many expansions. Didn't work for me.
    I don't know what you define as SMALL but I'd suggest one of those:
    1. Shephy - either the original or pnp the royalty free version (for which I added the campaign mode that is in the digital but not the original). Tons of gameplay there.
    2. Dungeon Flee. I co-edited it, it's perfect. Setup is a little long but you get an excellent game. I also added a scoring sheet. After your first play try medium difficulty.
    3. The Phantom the Card game. Small, efficient footprint. I co-edited this gem too. Make sure to ignore the creator's hand size of 3 and increase it to 4 and you have a great time.
    4. The Forgotten Road. Its pnp is out and the retail is being fulfilled right now. I created a great roguelite campaign for it. Give it a try, the pnp is cheap, campaign is free.
    5. One deck dungeon. Hundreds of plays, campaign plus various fan based heroes and bosses/ monsters.
    6. Palm Island, Sprawlopolis, but you already must have played these.

    I think your viewers want you to highlight Grimslingers, and since the rulebook is indecipherable a very detailed video would help.

    Some of the "Tiny Epic..." games are good.

      I did buy Tiny Epic Kingdoms ages ago but it remains on my shelf of shame... Should really get round to playing.
      Which ones would you recommend?...
