@@dogtags2010 Oh, wow - thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and support. An Escape from Tarkov style game does sound like an interesting challenge. I will definitely look into it.

Mission accomplished! Thank you for the wonderful game. It was Impactful enough that I found myself at Circle DC earlier this year (War game convention put on by Fort Circle Games)
This review has decided me. I haven't sat a table top game in a good 30 years. I grew up the military games that were so in depth you had to read rule books for a month before the first game. My thanks to the both of you for rekindling an old flame!
Hi Jared, First-time viewer of your channel, and I really enjoyed it. You have a very smooth delivery and do a great job of summarizing games succinctly. The images of the boxes and games adds a lot to the presentation. Your tastes seem to match mine except for the notable exception of horror/cthlu based games. I will definitely check out more of your content. Keep up the great work.
For something completely different…personal development 1970s game The Transformation Game which has a solo supplement. You bring a real world issue to the game and play through it, and it actually walks you through poking at yourself while making progress on the board. The creators still hold annual live game events retreat in Scotland, even with a life-sized board, for people to kinda map out their year. (Not affiliated, just a fan of the game and never been to the live events…) That said, gonna check out a couple games mentioned. Not a horror fan, but Plum Island Horror sounded interesting. I usually do solo TTRPGs not boardgames. Some of these sounded like they might also have interesting prompts for “borrowing” for solo RPGs.
Never heard of “The Transformation Game” - thank you for sharing! Of all the games on my list - I think sleeping gods would appeal to you the most to you from a TTRPG aspect.
Hi from France! I'm a solo player, at the moment I'm reading some rulebooks: Wyrmspan, Distant Skies and Final Girl. I don't know which one I'll play! Otherwise, I like Everdell, Zombicide, many roll/flip 'n write, Aeon's End, Cascadia and Calico, etc. Thanks for the video! (I subscribed)
First time watching one of your videos, I’ll have to check out the rest of your content. AHLCG is my favorite game and I’m one of the people that prefer true solo over two-handed solo. There are some scenarios that are exponentially more difficult with only one investigator, but there only a few of those in the 100+ scenarios in AHLCG. I recently got Sleeping Gods Distant Skies and can see why people love SG. There is sooo much fun content in that one box.
Sometimes true solo is swingy. A hard scenario might be easy or vice versa, but 80% of the time it’s typical of the multiplayer experience. The deckbuilding is the biggest change as all of your decks need to be flex decks.
Thanks for the heads up! I adore it co-op and will have to give that a shot. A video exploring fan made solo variants could be an interesting discussion.
hi there, first time watching your top 10. and i really enjoyed your narrative, enthusiasm, like the fact that you show the box and the board game. also a great list, some games i havent heard about but unfortunately some of them are not available on amazon. thanks
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Glad you were able to learn about some new games! Hopefully, you can find some of those games at your local shop or other online shops!
Great list, definitely going to look to try some of these! If you haven't played them, I really enjoy Sentinels of The Multiverse (Definitive Edition) as a Solo Game, Wyrmspan, and Ark Nova. Sentinels of the Multiverse is similar to your Akrham Horror explanation, but you play as multiple roles, but the decision making trying to compliment the card that each of your heros are going to play is so much fun. Wyrmspan I find one of the best games that is just as fun solo vs multiplayer, there isn't a lot of player interaction to be fair, but it does a great job of desigin an automated opponent to keep the same feel and intensity between the two. Ark Nova is different, it feels more like a time crunch or race than the multiplayer game, but a lot of fun trying yo build your engine and build it quickly. Also in regards to your Spirit Island honourable mention, Spirit Island is one of my favourite games, but personally I find it loses some of the fun in the solo mode. Since you dont have that interaction and coordination, and many of the Spirits have glaring weaknesses that it becomes immensely harder to complete solo, with some spirits I would almost argue it is impossible solo.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment! Sentinels of the Multiverse is one I really want to try out. Have you tried playing spirit island two-handed so that you still get the experience of spirits interacting?
Great list! Just discovered Final Girl and killed Hans after 3 plays. Great number one. Marvel Champions is high on my top 10 list. Did you ever played MC?
Nice job beating Hans! I haven't played MC yet, I'm so invested in Arkham Horror I hesitate to get into another LCG. But I really need to at least try it.
Great List! Dieson Crusoe sounds interesting to me. I'm just now getting around to playing Resist! and it has been good so far, but difficult, no ranking of it yet, but I'm definitely enjoying it. Marquis and Under Falling Skies are great games and I really enjoy them as well as Warps Edge. Have you solo'ed the Bloody Inn?
Thanks for the suggestion, I've seen that game mentioned a few times! Recently picked up Halls of Hegra for my solo wargame fix, but will look at Mr. President.
Incredible list! Final Girl and Witchcraft (Resist's sequel) both are in my top 10 for solo. Maquis seems really interested and I need it, as well as Plum Island Horror!!! Thank you for the recommendations!!
Thank you for checking out video! Hope you get a chance to play Maquis, it's such an awesome game in a small package. P.S Love your stuff on Tablenauts!
AH is awesome;) I only played it with 4P;) Anyway - one does not neeed two LCGs I think;) LOTR is interestingly more "darker". Definitively more challenging. A lot more
Hey Jared, awesome list. Just borrowed Maquis from TTG and it's on my list. Highly recommend The Last Lighthouse from Button Shy also to fit the creepy theme. Is Witchcraft available for sale yet? Heard of it awhile back but can't find where to get it.
I love The Last Lighthouse, it was actually my #2 pick if not for Naturopolis. Witchcraft was on a reprint campaign 25th Century did a few months ago so it might be more available soon. You are welcome to borrow my copy down the road though!
Great reviews. Wonder on your views on Dark Tower and Return to Dark Tower? Both are single-player or competitive. Return to Dark Tower is also a team player game, which plays really well. Edit* Firefly is my 3rd to list again solo or competitive. 4th is forbidden island. 5th is Magic the Gathering (not a solo game) but I have the 3 solo campaigns released a few years back
Great question. I think the bones of Final Girl are still great. The action card play, dice rolling, and variable set up are still tons of fun. It tells an interesting game play narrative even if you aren't a horror fan. However, if you are averse to dice rolling & luck you might be less forgiving if you don't connect with theme.
@@boardgameapprentice From series 1, it’s Frightmare. From series 2, it’s the Alien one. Which one from series 3 are you looking forward to the most? Btw, appreciate the response!
@@boardgameapprentice What I did: For Northwood, the Lost Expedition, Friday (I think you did), possible Enchinstone Dragons, 20 Strong. What do I suggest: "After the Virus", "The Wilds of Leviathan", "Kinfire Delver", "The Button shy ("Food Chain island", "At the Helm", "Ragmore"), "All is a Bomb", "Red Rain. Ashes Reborn", "Skoventir", "Horde of Heavenly Beasts",.. and much, much more...)
Perhaps i see it a little different but if Zombicide and the like are in than have you been able to play Kingdom Death: Monster yet? This is hardcore solo amazballs.
Absolutely Final Girl is one of the best solo games ever. I always debate whether it or Mage Knight should be all time best solo boardgame. Mage Knight wins for me just because it has way more things going on for a richer experience. But Final Girl nails it for the superb horror survival decision-making gameplay.
@@boardgameapprentice it’s an older game but recently there has been great new tutorial content for it from folks such as Paul at Gaming Rules and Shaggy at Totally Tabled
@@boardgameapprentice I don't like the comic books or movies, so this is why I decide to buy the LOTR LCG over the others. It is a great little game, but very pricey. The base game only gives you a taste. You need to spend a good £150-200 on it to enjoy it fully.
FG sucked! I got stuck at the same location even when ruling for 1 move card and 1 sprint card. In Nemesis and Mage Knight you are guaranteed movement if you want that. FG fails by having to roll for everything. And managing that tableu every 2 minutes sucks too. The game should have been a deck-building instead of dices.
Thanks for checking out video! I’m sorry you had a rough experience with FG. Understand the constant dice rolling won’t work for everyone though. You mentioned Mage Knight - I hope to get this played soon. Heard nothing but good things about it in comments.
Also the walk & sprint action cards both have options to take 1 movement (with health & time penalty) if you fail the roll. Don’t think you should’ve been stuck in a location regardless.
I just don’t get the love for Final Girl. I got it based on all the gushing praise from various game reviewers and top ten lists. It’s ok but that’s it IMO. There are far superior solo experiences out there but of course that’s based on my own taste…Mage Knight, Renegade, Robinson Crusoe, Heat, Samurai Spirit, City of Kings, Ghost Stories…..to name a few.
I’ve played a lot of Final Girl and I can assure you that the dice rolling can very much be mitigated by the way you play. Don’t try to do too much on every turn, try to build a hand for a big turn with less chances of failure, etc. That said, it’s true you can occasionally lose due to bad luck… but it’s less frustrating, for me, when it happens because the game often created a great story around that as well.
Final Girl is a cool little game, but top 1 is a heavy stretch, man... I mean, I know it's your opinion and I don't wanna be THAT guy, BUT we have Pax Pamir, Mage Knight and at least some 20 other soloable games that are on a whole other level of gameness...
Totally fair! I admit Final Girl is a game that just really hits the spot for me specifically. Mage Knight is a big gap I need to get played. Never, thought to try Pax Pamir solo. What is on the top of your list?
@@boardgameapprentice I think my top 5 solo games nowadays would be: 1- Mage Knight 2- Pax Pamir 2nd ed 3- Robinson Crusoe 4- Nemesis 5- Dune Imperium Uprising My main gripe with Final Girl is actually the cost/benefit, I think it's too expensive for what it is (at least where I live).

Resist! is not a WW2 game. It's set during the Spanish Civil War which happens before WW2.

True solo is Arkham is absolutely not busted at all. Completing campaigns is very possible
Another commenter shared the same sentiment, I'll need to give true solo another try.
Witchcraft is a better, more streamlined version of Resist! with awesome combos.
I played a bunch this October and am in love. Playing though the scenarios now 😁
uno can also be played solo
Are you serious??
@@boardgameapprentice no HAHAHA
You can tell he's never played Mage Knight!

It is! Played a lot of it this October
I should really give Final Girl a try. I’ve been scared off because I don’t like randomness, but I do love Arkham LCG and that has randomness too.
FG has a lot of dice rolling, and feels more random than pulling from the chaos bag. Don't want to discourage you from trying it, but beware!
