I find it weird that I've never heard of this channel before. The KZread algorithm took long enough to get us matched up.

Yeah good point. Same here
This is the 999th dicebreaker video. Next one will be the 1000th so congrats for that achievement.
Oh, this is great. I was just thinking about how none of my friends like me and I'm going to be alone forever.

@@izkariot That is the right attitude ! When we acquire interests, it is something to share, offering possibilities.
Thanks so much for the kind words about Witchcraft!
Marvel Champions and Under Falling Skies have still been my favorites so far!
Final Girl is a really cool idea and Spirit Island looks fun. Sometimes I play Castle Panic solo. It can be pretty fun.
Love to see mage knight being on almost every solo game list, year after year. Not easy to dethrone it.

@@aorakis5795 I only have around 20 games, so that's not my problem. My problem is that I can't get four or five people together at one time for anything where I live. I do see a lot of gamers on youtube with shelves full of games and I don't understand that at all. I saw a guy on Reddit say he kickstarted over 75 games. 75! That's just the ones he backed on kickstarter, too! That's crazy.
Mage Knight is my favorite game all time. Solo or otherwise. Excellent list! My other favorite is Too Many Bones, but that might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
Mythwind and Three Sisters are calling my name
Thanks for this vid…. I was looking for a solo-game and found it !!! And didn’t know that Final Girl existed…. Good thing it is 😁 after this vid watched many other playthrough and decided to buy the series 1. I love it!! 👍😁
In my opinion Spirit Island is the best. Great collaborative game, but you can play solo as well, better controlling 2 spirits in game. 😊

Nice to see a run down but not enough footage of the actual games.
I wouldn't go anywhere near Spirit Island or Mythwind if you want them for solo play, they are very much meant as multiplayer games but have a solo variant added in but not really the way it should be played to get a good experience. Hundreds of other solo games I would put before these two. Witchcraft and Final Girl are good choices.

I’ve been enjoying Arkham Horror LCG. Yes, it is a bit of a money sink, but I have yet to find a more satisfying game experience
I love Final Girl, and hope to try Mage Knight. Great variety on this list.

Mage Knight is great. My best game ❤❤❤
From that list; Spirit Island would be my go to. Playing "true solo" (1 spirit) is ok but the joy is playing two different spirits to co-operatively destroy the invaders. The different combinations of spirits make the game so incredibly replayable as each combo plays so differently.
I’ve really enjoyed playing Cascadia both multiplayer and solo. Especially since it has a suggested difficulty roadmap in the game booklet so you always have a next, more difficult challenge to work towards. It’s easy to learn and plays pretty quickly (depending on how long the other players take) and (best of all for my ADHD brain) it is almost entirely a tactical game (you can’t really plan too far ahead since your options for adding tiles are generally completely different by the time your turn comes back around), and everything is completely open for everyone to see (so no worries if you have a very limited working memory like me). ^^b Also, even though it is a competitive game, it’s not really one that encourages sabotage, and it’s usually almost impossible to tell who’s winning until the very end, so everyone still tends to like each other even after a difficult game. ;;>.
Mage Knight ❤❤❤
subscribed and you have a beautiful London voice. Good to see spirit island and mage knight (cause they are in my collection). There are many others and I played spirit island with real player off line and hope people all find their mates but solo is also great
Great list! I’m just wondering when is Conservas coming out to retail 🤔
For Final Girl, I heard the summer camp one is a good one to start with for that series. Would you agree it’s a little less complicated than the others?
@SanderPastoor

Yes! If you want to try Final Girl, definitely get Camp Happy Trails. It's the only set without extra rules for the location or killer, so you just get to play with the core Final Girl rules. It's also still a challenging experience, but with the least amount of extra rules overhead. I highly recommend it.

Does anyone know how to get their hands on Witchcraft! in the US? I’m not sure if it’s just sold out everywhere or it’s not being produced yet.

It was funded on GameFound, so your best bet would be Ebay or other 3rd party sellers.
"Three Sisters" looks lika a nice relaxing game- I'll have to check it out when I get a chance:)
just what I was loking for!
So well presented - thank you for that…
Good solo or solitaire games: Maquis Undaunted Series Shadows of Brimstone Series Great Western Trail Series Various Submarine Series (Hunters..) Various Leader Series (Aircraft) Revolution Road ((1775) Sniper Elite the Board game Soldiers in Postmen’s Uniforms Castle Itter Keep Up Fire (Boxer Rebellion) Heroes of Series Dawn of Empire(1898) One Deck Dungeon Nemo’s War Dungeons of Doria Defending America (from the German Amerika bomber) Call to Adventure Series Regards

in theory i like the idea of solo board gaming... in practice i often feel like it's not worth the set-up and tear down just for myself... and i just play a video game instead... or a digital version of the board game, lol.

Hi there, lovely pick But... Where are... Aeon's end / Astro knights Bullet Warp's edge Sprawpolis / Naturopolis Planet unknown Street Masters Welcome to the moon (and I'm not speaking about any of the 3 FFG LCGs games) (as they are much more expansive :p ) ? :) _ On the other hand -Final girl : I haven't found it quite balanced or "even" at all! You will die a lot more than survive this game with those dice rolls :D (which is thematically good) (but after experiencing a 15 blanks rolls in a row... I had to get rid of it :D ) -Mage knight : when too much is too much (rules and micro rules to get funny anymore) (for my brain anyway:p) -spirit island : if you like the game, and get slowly annoyed by it, grab the branch and claws expansion! -witchcraft : I much prefer resistance theme and graphics. (but I'm just boy i guess :D)
Holy moly she's cute
i studied english at an english school in Peru and i always thought english should sound like a "bottel of woter" and "would you like some tea?" I remember my scottish teacher trembling from drinfking too much coffee and smoking too much teaching us and we found it almost non understandable. Listening to Maddie bring back the memories...

You shouldn't be playing by yourself. How do you blow your nose? Marvel Champions and Arkham Horror LCG
I watch content from many boardgame and RPG channels and enjoy their content a lot, but never have I seen a channel this obviously biased - towards money. Things already appeared very fishy with some games in past months, but don't tell me you weren't paid a handsome amount of money for putting Mythwind in the No. 1 spot during their Kickstarter. At least be open about it! This is not how other reviewers, paid or unpaid, operate. Not a single one I'm aware of. This is disgusting.
