Hey, thanks for visiting my channel! On this channel you’ll find how to play videos, which I try to make as short while still easy to understand as possible, reviews and rankings out of 10 and unboxings with the help of my wonderful daughter Addilyn and maybe my son Owen when he’s older (if he behaves).
Feel free to leave any suggestions for videos you’d like.
Unfortunately my work schedule is very busy and unpredictable making my filming schedule sporadic and less frequent than I would like but despite that I plan to always continue putting out videos just not nearly as many as I would like.

Fellow father. Fellow solo gamer. Thanks for the specifics on each. I ended up getting rid of Mage Knight. It's a too long right now for my schedule.
Hey thanks for watching :), it’s always hard to know when to get rid of a game eh but hopefully you were able to find a game to replace mage knight with.
you said <18 minutes, but then you said to pause after 4 out of 5 rules! if I pause I won't finish in time! jk, thanks for the video, and thanks for the warning about the last action.
lol well I figured in over 18 minutes didn’t sound as good for a title, glad you enjoyed the video :)
Spirit Island is the only one on the list that I've played. Time to try another one (hopefully Burncycle!)
Good choice, I hope you enjoy it :)
I have no friends and my siblings don't want to play with me so this is perfect. Thank you!
Im late to the party, but i just completed the solo challenge. I found the X tokens and X action being much more powerful in single player allowing more x5 actions when youre pressed for action economy. Great game, i disguised a racoon as baby panda to boost sales in a failing zoo 10/10.
I just played this for the first time over at Emerald Tavern here in Austin. I loved it. It's a challenge to get past the rule book for the first time, but once I got into the meat of the game, I found that the gameplay was fast-paced, which felt like playing Diablo for PC. Kill the monster, get the loot, level up, avoid the traps, trade your gear. I only got to the second level of the dungeon because it was my first time playing, but I'm gonna be back soon and I'll play it again.
This was the wrong video to watch for affordable solo game recommendations lol. Though destinies is supper affordable so i got something out of it
Just saw your video and decided to try solo again. Won two straight games!! For me it works to just focus on appeal. Just dash around the appeal track and at some point conservation points will be coming. You cannot focus too much on long term plans and gambles. Not enough time for that. Cool video, man!
Thanks for the great vid! I ended a standard crawl yesterday on the east side of the board. Is it stated anywhere in the rulebook that the standard delve is required to end on the north side of the board? I am not seeing that in the description of the delve. Simply states you must cross the threshold. This was the second standard crawl of the session that I played and it was by far the longest and dangerous so I am not too worried, but it would be nice to have some clarification. Really really enjoying this purchase so far though, despite the rules being a bit muddy in places.
Glad you enjoyed the video, it isn’t explicitly stated in the rules anywhere I could see I had to look up some forums online and one of the designers said that the standard crawl starts on the south and you only can exit from the north. A dead end is caused by any tile placed over the threshold on the west or east of the board. Better clarification in the rulebook would definitely be nice. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the game so far :).
Nice reviews. My only critique is you tend to refer to games in past tense. Reviews should be in the present tense, e.g. ‘the game instructions are really good’ instead of ‘the game instructions were really good’ and ‘The ability to go wherever you want is really good’ instead of ‘was really good’.
Wyrmspan good for solo ?
Id like to see what you think of "Return to dark tower" and where that would be on your solo list.
I haven’t had a chance to play that one yet I’ve been wanting to get it for a while but haven’t yet. Looks awesome though.
Would you say that these miniatures are in good scale for D&D?
Thank you.. I wish you were reviewed this game.
Great review. I like your perspective, your reasoning, and how you are clearly explain your experience. Thank you.. But although my impression of how good you are in doing this - It just makes me want much much much more reviews than you currently have in your channel. Good luck!
Thanks for your kind words, glad to hear you enjoyed the video :)
What’s the point if stress pile next to the board ?
Of*
@@adnankhalid424 it’s a reserve for when players overheat and need to add more stress cards to their decks.
I watched the entire Capstone Games how-to video and had no idea how to play. Popped on over to this video and it all makes sense now. Thank you!
Awesome, glad to hear it was helpful for you :)
Man, I have consumed so much of your content but only recently learned you no longer create content. Your videos and content are top notch and production quality is very very good. I will miss you but am staying subscribed in case you come back to making content
Thanks so much I really appreciate that, sadly life has been too busy to make content lately, this year in particular with buying a house, a third baby on the way and working tons of overtime. Hopefully life will slow down in the future and I can put out some more videos. Thanks for watching :).
Old Speckled Hen out of a tin? Heresy!
Haha it was a moment of weakness, I’ll only drink if from chilled glasses from now on 😂
@@fatherofgames9239 Don't want to sound like a beer-Nazi, but it's like drinking Pinot-Noir out of a pop cup.
Thanks!
Id love etherfieleds but I dunno how you could afford it it's over $100!! 😔
Awe It is unfortunate that awaken realms games are so expensive for sure but they come with a lot of quality components to somewhat justify the price.
I really enjoy ISS Vanguard Solo, can see it in your background. It is some big games you enjoy to play solo....
Glad to hear you enjoyed it, I’ve had a hard time getting into that one to be honest but I’m gonna keep trying and hope I enjoy it more
Hope you’re keeping well! 👀 wide open till next video.
most complicated game ever
Thanks for this great video. Gave me a good refresher
No worries, glad to hear it was helpful for you :)
I needed a quick refresher of the rules and this nailed it. Thank you!
Thanks, glad it was helpful for you :)
Too many bits and pieces. Who has that much time on their hands?
I do! I work 40 hours and still make the time to engage in my hobby :)
9:19 - WARNING - If you have no figures in a region due to not participating in a battle or Plague of Locust you do can NOT gain monument majority.
Really excellent How to, thanks!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it :)
great video man
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Yes, Burncycle is the 2nd! I think this game is often underestimated. I love this game (and Mage Knight also).
Glad to hear you like Burncycle as well, it really was a massively underrated game for sure and one I found just gets better with more plays.
Where I can find the "monsters pack" expansion😢???
It was added when you buy the “all in” pledge of the game on kickstarter. Unless they start another kickstarter for the game your best bet would be somewhere like eBay at this point unfortunately
...and possibly $100 worth of game. Is that the best option for a bit of alone time?
Hi, I was wondering with the Bellfaire expansion if it would be possible to play 8 people. My husband & I have 3 couple friends that want to play. I was wondering if you could just put extra action spaces out and we could add the 8th player with some worker characters. Instead of a total of 15 cards in your city, it would have to be less maybe since there is the 8th player gather their city.
To be honest Belfaire is the only expansion I haven’t tried but I’m sure you could probably do it that would be a lot of downtime in between turns though.
Can you do this same type of video but with the pharoah expansion?
I just bought the android version for my phone for $5. Its fantastic and the fact that it takes care of all the small details for you is a great GREAT way to learn and to see if you even enjoy this board game. After playing a few times I can say that, yeah... I definitely like it.
I would love to see you review the new Sleeping Gods! I like the way you review things!
I bought this game *purely* because it completes the trilogy, but also because I trust Ryan Laukat games to be good. Having no knowledge of the gameplay, this video was a helpful introduction which will surely aid me as I dig into the rulebook. Thank you very much!
So glad I came upon your utubes. Excellent teaching of game. I really want to learn Arc Nova, so watched your video and will rewatch. Thank you and hope to see a lot more games done in brief game explanation.
Thanks so much Susan, glad to hear they’ve been helpful for you :)
mage knight is fun. hope im playing it right though lol
lol there definitely is a ton of rules but as long as you’re having fun playing it that’s the main thing
Thanks for this. I really like your How To Play videos because they strip out all the nonsense and extra verbiage. Other videos take 25 mins to say what you cover in 10 mins. This gets me playing faster! *thumbs up*
Thanks, glad it was helpful for you :)
That was quick but clear and to the point. Thanks you!
Thanks, glad it was helpful :).
Thank you, great reviews!
Thanks :)
Nice 116 tattoo!
Thanks bro 😎
No longer posting videos? If not, thank you for the very good ones you did. Always liked hearing your views on solo games in particular. God bless.
Unfortunately not, not for a while anyways life has become too busy lately unfortunately. I appreciate that man thanks for the support. God bless :)
@@fatherofgames9239 sad for the world as your content was heads above over other bg content creators, but I hope you're doing alright man. I only recently discovered your channel and I'll enjoy watching all of the existing content. Thank you!
@@georgegalushkothanks George, I really appreciate that :)
Really clear video, thanks
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it :)
Interesting and expensive list. Destinies looks interesting and I agree MK is an awesome game but that is as complex as I'm willing to get right now.
Top ten big box miniature games 😅
Hard to argue with your #1. MK killer solo experience!
Good video, well done!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
