      Ha! Thank you for the compliment!
      If I was to remake this video today, I might have a few different games on the list, (Revolver Noir published by Button Shy would certainly be added, probably knocking Mr Jack Pocket off the list), but I still enjoy all of the games in this video :-)
      Since you think I have good taste, I'd love to hear what other games you would recommend for people that like my kinds of games!

    Hive Pocket has a space in my bag when it's nice weather to go on a walk and gets played when we stop to drink/eat something.
    My copy of Palm Island is currently in transit to my mailbox :)
    Friday sees some play, but when I'm gonna go for a solo game in this genre, I choose Robinson Crusoe these days.
    Mint Works was something I backed, but got lost in transit... :(
    And Hero Realms is still one of my favorite games to play when we only have an hour or so!
    Might have to give Strawlopolis and a shot after watching this! (and perhaps buy Mint Works for a second time)

  • @kosterix123

    Loved this video since I've really got into mini games recently. I have and love Friday, mint works and sprawlopolis and am awaiting circle of wagons. Have hive but have only played app. Will have to check out the others. Like the look of Mr jack pocket. Had seen it instore but never seen it played. Great run-throughs! Had love letter but eventually got rid of it. I am loving Orchard and got nine tiles panic which the whole family love. Citadels, fox in the forest, railroad ink and arboretum other great small games I love. Also have tybor the builder of oh my goods family, valley of kings and mottainai so keen to try those but trying to explain the latter to my wife stops me from breaking that out!

    Wow, great job! You sold me on every game I didn't already have on this list... In Mr Jack Pocket I think you might be missing the rule that tiles get turned at the start so that none of the detectives get to see anyone. It's much more evenly matched that way... Other pocket-sized games I highly recommend are Omen: A Reign of War (old Small Box Games edition), Hanabi, and Iron Man 2: Game of War (or its ancestor, Star Wars: Clash of the Lightsabers).

    Great list! Other pocketable games to consider:
    - Coup
    - One Night Ultimate Werewolf
    - The Mind
    - Coloretto
    - Sushi Go
    - Innovation
    - Cockroach Poker (never played but it is often recommended)
    - Onitama (you'll have to make your own set)
    Some, though portable like Friday, will have to be PnP and cut down in order to actually fit in a pocket.

    • @LucasGentry
      @LucasGentry  5 лет назад

      And if you find some good solo dungeon crawlers, feel free to post your finds here! I'm always on the lookout (though I rarely purchase them) for solo dungeon crawlers that could make you feel like you're playing a tabletop RPG. My favorite so far is Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Mummy's Mask. Not really a "take on a trip" type game, since the box is pretty hefty, but it is a fun dice chucker with a great sense of character progression as you move through the campaign.

    does anyone know of any games like classic playing cards ( 4 suits type ) in regards to how many very different games you can play with only one deck, eg. cheat, chase the ace, pontoon, 11's, rummy, fish, ect. ect. i love how you can do this but obviously basically no theme at all for it, if you know of any games to fit this please recommend, if not ... i think the first people to make them will have many sales.
    N.B doesn't have to be just card games if you have other good recommendations. thank you.

      I've actually still never played it! I see the little box in the store, and pass it up because there would be so much more replayability in the big box, but then I end up not getting the big box because I don't have people to play it with right now. It's a vicious circle that will probably only end when I play someone else's copy.
