The reason I am in (well, through some group order, because cheaper) is that it still gives me a very open-world vibe. And I think it looks gorgeous, I like the style. The big box definitely is a benefit and I switched to that immediately, don’t need no superfluous boxes with lots of air in them.

/u/bboomslang on I’ve gotten into a crazy board game kick lately but have no one to play with. Friends aren’t into it.
Is there a neighbourhood coop or something like that around where you live? Can be a great start for your own open boardgame meet. Or go solo gaming, because it is tons of fun and a whole new area of boardgaming in itself. Or do both 😉

Erstes Solo Spiel von 1944: Race to the Rhine. Interessanter Wettlauf gegen andere Generäle oder im Solospiel gegen die Zeit. Fokus des Spiels weitaus mehr auf der Logistik als auf banalen Kämpfen. Bin noch nicht ganz sicher wie gut es mir solo gefällt, könnte es mir aber Multiplayer sehr gut vorstellen. Shared on Google+ by […]

First play (solo) of 1944: Race to the Rhine. Did lots of stuff wrong and put up a horrible fight, since this was just a learning game. Tempo is essential in this game, and you have to get limited support bases going, otherwise you won't get anything done. Patton still came close to the Rhine […]

The last one for me currently is Commands & Colors: Ancients – there is a german version, but it is even more expensive than the normal version. And it is not a solo game, neither does it have a solo variant, it is just one that presumeably pays very well two-handed. I am no stranger to playing left brain vs right brain, but most games are either something I know I will get to play multiplayer, or cheaper games. Paying 80 EUR to then discover it is not for me would be kinda a bummer. I’m fine with expensive stuff with dedicared solo play, as most of the time I enjoy those games, but something like this?

/u/bboomslang on What are some good pocket-sized games?
Another vote for Red7 here – that game really is great to have around while waiting for your food at the restaurant, waiting for your plane at the airport and similar situations. Other games I often have with me are Cypher and Eminent Domain: Microcosm…

Yeah, that one is on my list of “stuff to get to put away until I retire”. For now, with a full job and full life, I fear I don’t find the time to play such a monster 😉

/u/bboomslang on Is labyrinth: the war on terror good?
I got it with its expansion, because Lab is the only way I am aware of to get the CDG experience in a solo playable game. Sure, I could play other CDGs two-handed against myself, but that’s just not always what I want. Lab to me is kinds like solo TS, especially with the expansion. That said, it so far didn’t pan out, because Lab still is a quite more complex game than TS and so needs a bit time investment to get started, especially with the expansion, where you have to read up on rules in two rule books, checking the new one for changes all the time.

No worries, the resistance has you covered, we got Martin Wallace to make a manual to fight them and have him disguise it as a board game.
