Looking for beautiful boardgames with an actual win/lose condition (not just beat your own score/points threshold)
I'm looking for new solo board games to add to my collection that check three boxes:
- A real win/lose condition, not just BYOS or that winning is reaching a certain number of points.
- Gorgeous components and/or art
- Have a cozy theme
I have already decided to get Wild Gardens, but I also want to add another game.
Games I already have in my collection:
- Dorfromantik Sakura (love how it looks, don't like how it plays)
- Harmonies (also loves how it looks, but doesn't like the solo-mode. It's ok with the melodies campaign though, but I prefer this multiplayer)
- Eila & Something Shiny (Love everything about this! But have already played the campaign several times)
- Mythwind (One of my favourites!)
- Horizons of Spirit Island
- A place for all my books
- Spire's End Hildegard
- Stonesaga (another one of my favourites)
- Wingspan
- Wyrmspan
- Witchbound (Like the art, but not the components, which feel cheap and flimsy)
- Daydream (don't like that it's BYOS)
- Koi (The win condition in solomode is reaching a certain number of points, which I don't like)
- Onirim
- A light in the mist
- Stardew Valley
- Slay the Spire
- A gentle rain
- Awaken the Ancients (my favourite small box/quick playing game)
- Witchcraft!
- Vantage
- Storyfold Wildwoods
Even though I prefer narrative games, I already have a few ongoing, so that's not what I'm looking for right now.
