I agree. Both games are truly excellent for solo play. So much content in just a few cards. Simply amazing.

They have a great bunch of solo games from the past 2 years and another fine few releasing later this year. Hopefully they get the same chance

You liked it? Play spaceshiped you will love it, it's the best of button shy game for solo I think

Thanks for the comparison.

Love this series of games! The expansions for Sprawlopolis are cute, too.

For traveling it is great, as it just fits in your pocket, backpack, etc.

Both of these games are in my top five favorite solo games - so much fun!

Unlike Tom, I lose most of the time. Some of those scoring conditions are TOUGH! I assume that every combo is possible to win, but I have my doubts with some of them. I think part of the fun/challenge is to keep trying until you beat one set of scoring conditions and then move on to a new combo (and it would be cool to have a challenge sheet with different combos to try.) While yes, it’s pretty much a solo game, I like playing it with two players where you take turns trying to puzzle it together. Both Sprawl and Agro also have some mini-expansions, so there is a TON of game in just a handful of cards!

I know you weren't into the multiplayer side, but it would have been good to hear a little more about it.

8:11 That was painful. But I'm also someone who sleeves all card games.

@benjaminspears8488 3 жыл бұрын

Ha. We don’t sleeve anything and games seem to hold up pretty well. I’m not a fan of the plasticky feeling of sleeves.

I would love to see these games compared with Circle the Wagons

Even if all 3 games have the same component of constructing a puzzle and reaching good scores in 3 goals which get randomly drawn from a pile of 18, I think it’s a bit hard to compare them, CtW being a 2-player-only competitive game and the other two 1-4-players cooperative games.I own Sprawlopolis and CtW and I prefer the latter, which has that added element of possibly giving cards to your opponent so that you get a better card; however, being 2-player-only makes it hit the table much less often for me, since I play games much more often with a group. But CtW is certainly a really good game, and Tom likes it quite much.

Winning most of your games is really impressive! I just got Sprawlopolis and Agropolis and I've gone 4/1 and 1/4 win/loss, respectively! Agropolis is way harder for me, and I haven't used the feed rules yet. I really do like the game, but some of the scoring card combos seem extremely difficult. My last game, I had #3 Udderly Impossible, #7 Cornfed, and #15 Cornercopia, and my brain exploded. I'll keep coming back because I love puzzles more than I like winning, and this is a really awesome puzzle! I haven't combopolized the situation yet...

Why does Tom look into a different camera? It's not even a prompter thing, because he does that all the time, even in spots where he could easily just say his mind, without referring to it.

@thedicetower 3 жыл бұрын

That IS odd. I must be looking at the viewfinder, and you can tell. I'll try to look more directly at the camera.

@lilyblanco9525 3 жыл бұрын

I dislike solo games because it feels empty to me. I want to try this game and buy two sets and give one to me and the other to someone else. Then I'd randomly select the 3 scoring cards and have the other person pick the same three. Then we'd each play our own game and try to get more points than the other person, ignoring what the cards say you need to score to win. That way you're playing to beat the other person.
