I know you don’t get a lot of comments on these posts, but they are appreciated by some of us nonetheless! Thanks for your weekly efforts! :)

Broke out Ragusa finally, and played a couple solo games with it. I really enjoyed the “other players benefit from your action” aspect of it (for clarification, you’re placing houses at the corners of resource hexagons, and when you activate certain hexagons, each other player who has house(s) around it also take the action).

The rules take a bit to sink in, but I found it pretty satisfying.

A fellow Colemakian! Love the keyboard!

I see your concern there, and I’m in the same boat as far as not wanting to make games not fun. For me, the app is more of a way to keep track of what I’ve played, keeping high scores, and knowing what day of the week I sacrifice most of my time to board games on.

Thanks for that info about Dominion though. I’ll only abuse it a couple times. ;)

I played a few solo games, including Dustrunner and Gate, and I did a couple scenarios in Monster Expedition (in which I realized I had been under-improving my hunting camps in my previous games by not using all applicable dice). My girlfriend and I got in a couple games of Wingspan ala duet mode, which is always a satisfying way to spend post of an afternoon.

Also, I picked up the BGStats app and have spent a fair amount of time entering any logged games I could scrounge up. I feel complete now.

Not sure if you saw it, but there is a Gates mat actually! It’s annoyingly several dollars more, but for completeness, it’s there. And thanks for the heads up on the sale! Any suggestions for other good games?

I haven’t played any yet, but I like the idea of it! I’d really like to give the Frostpunk and Monster Hunter World adaptations a go.

Broke out Gate and the Gates expansion for this morning’s solo game session. Got close to winning this time around, but the deck was under built by the time I got to the final two enemies. Final score of 30!

Memmy has been such a good experience in the short time it’s been around, and I hope it only gets better from here. Thanks dev team!

Libby, the ebook reader app that is synced with my library card! It works quite well, and though I technically pay for my public library via taxes, the app is free and fantastic!

For those transfer fees alone, I should be switching to yearly donations, but I’m about half half monthly and yearly right now. Looking at the ones I support via Patreon, not all of them actually offer a yearly option though.

Opted for a couple games of Onirim this morning, and I got close to finally winning! Or at least I thought I had until I checked the discard and saw that that blue moon card I needed was discarded only a few turns into the game. Oh well, one day…

I put my phone in either of my back packets when wearing pants with for pockets. Never front pockets.

I hope to see someone take all of these answers and create sweet graphs with it.

I subscribe to multiple communities for the same reason. In addition, the communities tend to be pretty small, and this helps me see the posts that might go under the radar if I otherwise were not subscribed.

I’ve been playing a number of solo games lately as my usual group seems to be doomed to never have aligned schedules these days. I’m currently in love with Arkham Horror LCG and the Wingspan Automata, but I also enjoy smaller games like Totem (solo mode) and One Deck Dungeon. What small-medium sized solo games do y’all enjoy?
