I'll say what everyone else seems to be missing: that joke at the beginning was fucking great!

That first joke was taro(t)ble!

I have bought and enjoyed quite a few games based on your reviews and recommendations, so thanks for that and I really like watching your channel for the variety of game content as well as the military history! Very cool channel

Yesterday I commented on one of your videos, asking if you had a top 10 solitaire games... and look what YT just recommended!!

MoM 1st does take a while to set up. Our group tends to prefer it overall because our Keeper sometimes makes small changes to GM the overall experience (so we don't follow all the rules verbatim). The hidden information on 2nd ed. rubbed us the wrong way one time when we had to all contribute successes to a puzzle, but there was no indication as to how many successes we required. After three rounds of doing nothing but rolling dice, we got so bored we just added a bunch of successes just so we could continue. 1st ed. is non-solo though, so that's a huge change.

10. Zombicide 9. Maquis 8. Soviet Dawn 7. Bismark (solitaire) 6. Tarawa 1943 5. Freeman's Farm 1777 4. Pavlov's House 3. Marvel Legendary 2. Dune Imperium 1. Mansions of Madness I'd give an honourable mention to a few more: Comancheria, Nemos war, Castle Itter, The Mission (WhiteDogGames do good solo games) and John Company (great bot). Some of the big narrative games work well solo too. Just had an email saying VPG have reprinted their solo game set: 'Ottoman Sunset', Hapsbnurg Eclipse' and 'Cuba: Splendid little war'.

An old long gone but one of my favorite solo games still is Raid on St Nazaire

This is a great list! I get tired of seeing the same games on the other top 10 solo game lists.

I love those Pavlov’s House / Castle Itter games, really thematic and challenging to play. Try Burgle Bros if you like something which has a real edge of challenge to it.

Nemo's War and Robinson Crusoe are two of my favorites to play solo. :-) I do also like Legendary Encounters: Alien solo, but I like to play it with two hands, so the Cooperate cards can do some work.

Dune: Imperium! Yes, yes, yes.

My fav Small box solitaire games: Under Falling Skies. Maquis. Unbroken. Fav Big box solitaire games: Pax Pamir. Obsession. Nemesis. Last Aurora.

Enjoyed your list. When you got to number one I was thinking OMG it’s going to be Star Wars Imperial Assault. As you were describing it, it totally fit, but you went with Mansion of Madness. Which I immediately ordered.

marvel champions lcg, arkham horror lcg, cthulhu death may die, gloomhaven, zombicide 2nd edition, zombicide black plague, lord of the rings travel in middleearth and gloomhaven paws of the lion. so many good games to play solo and so few time to play. think about it, the wonderfull time we life in with all the great games waiting for us to be played. and this is only the solo part of the hobby.

Great list! I love Under Falling Skies.

Dune Imperium is such an amazing game, glad to see you liked it

Great list - thank you! My absolute number 1 favourite solo game is 7th Continent. For me it's the perfect survival/exploration game with amazing story moments. Hesitant to recommend as it's a reasonable time commitment, although individual play sessions can be short, and learning how to survive long enough to win the game is a bit of a barrier to entry. I can definitely see why the game is devisive. But when I (finally) got the hang of it and beat the game for the first time was the most satisfying moment of my gaming career - just epic. 🙂

This War Of Mine, Hostage Negotiator, and Black Orchestra would be on my list.

Storm Above the Reich, quite a juicy solitaire game. Nice decision space without an app or a paragraf book. I was quite impressed by it.

My favorite solo game is APBA Baseball, I played out complete seasons in High School.

I’m completely new to even the idea of war gaming and come over from being a solo board gamer really only so this helps a lot!

Excellent list.

I have a tough time with app driven games. I find that I am not engaged in the experience as much. Pretty sure I am in the minority on that opinion. Great list! Looking forward to more of your expansions (future content) ;)

Great list (excluding the ones for kids 😅) and great channel as always!

Cool list, love the jokes my list Xia Dune Imperium Gia Project Welcome To ( original game) Gloomhaven Firefly, just see how much I can make in a certain amount of turns and some that are just fun Celtic Challenge, a simple tile pickup game that looks beautiful carcassonne, easy to play solo and very relaxing Thunder ally Twilight Struggle, fun to try to get both to win

.........the long long shadow of H P Lovecraft !

Too bad I just moved OUT of Wyoming. Oh well. Great list, though our tastes differ. I just couldn't get into the theme of Marvel Legendary (not a superhero fan). I did like Pavlov's House, but not sure I'd put it in my top 10. As far as Mansions of Madness... I'm not a fan of app games, but maybe I should give this one a try.

Great video, but what's the music playing at the very beginning? God, that sounds familiar. lol

Nice list. Eldritch Horror is my #1; however, I did recently pick up Mansions of Madness so I am looking forward to that. Bismarck Solitaire looks pretty neat and just may have to get it. I do have a question for you. GMT has US Civil War and For the People in their P500 and I just don't know which I would prefer. I have watched your review of US Civil War, but I didn't see For the People. What are your thoughts on the differences between the games? That might help me with my decision. I have ordered Washington's War via the P500 and am awaiting that.

Aliens by Leading edge, Final Girl and Fields of Fire. I need my dynamically generated stories.

did you played The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth? how do you compare it with Mansions?

Just ordered Bismarck Solitaire on your recommendation. 👍

Nice list. Need to pick up a few of them.

thank you sir

Cody lightening my wallet with the Dune recommendation. 🤪

Totally agree with MoM being totally immersive. Do you have a favourite expansion? I've bought Sanctum of Twilight but yet to play it.

No Raid on St. Nazaire? HERESSY!

Great List! Mansions of Madness…. Yep, my favorite non Wargame Solo and with others! Love Freeman’s Farm! Remember, in Solo mode, you use the singles outcomes Not the doubles! I need to try Tarawa, but it’s a little pricey! Silent Victory!! (GMT). One of my all time faves. Every patrol tells its own story. Do you shoot from close, medium or long range? How deep will you dive avoiding detection? Can you shake’em, or will the escorts find you for yet another depth charge run? Will you make it to the end of the war, or will you be sunk?? Great Game!! Also, I think Crowbar by Hermann Luttmann is a great game. I also am waiting patiently for his Horror at Plum Island (GMT) and also “A Most Fearful Sacrifice the 3 Days at Gettysburg!!”

I like Combat! and Airborne Commander. You said you have trouble finding people to play with, I play a lot of games using Vassal, have you tried that?

Have you played "Combat" and "Combat 2" from Compass Games? They are an immense improvement over the old "Ambush" games.

have you tried the waterloo book by the bismarck designer? Just wondering which is better!

Have you tried Marvel Champions? I've found myself playing it a lot over the last year.

Is there a specific version of Zombicide (with or without expansions) that you would recommend for solo play?

Have you looked into Valkyrie for Mansions of Madness? Tons of fan-made scenarios to keep you occupied :)

Combat! Should be high on this list.

Have you tried "Gaia Project"?

Soviet dawn…how timely

a board game with an app takes the point out of a board game

You are an enabler!! lol i have to go out and ge tlike HALF of these games! Great vid as usual mate

Maquis sounds a lot like Whitechappel if you';re the ripper.

Why not older games like the Ambush series?

Did you ever manage to beat Hidden Strike solo?

Of all the states you could’ve chosen to move to,….why Oming?

Jeffrey Toobin mistook this to be .... .... his favorite Top Ten Solitary Games.

Too many dice rolling games; hard pass, but I appreciate the effort that went into making the video.

War in Ukraine just started but I'm more interested in boardgame reviews.

agree with you on Mansions, I own both versions and the first one is fun, but the second one with all the expansions blows it away. And you are right its eerie and scary! espically when u get overwhelmed with monsters
