It's hard to say nice things about a FryxGames game given everything going on with them right now, but I played Kingdom Legacy — only the base game so far — after seeing some posts and comments about it here.

I'm not a great reviewer and English isn't even my first language, but I have a few opinions I'd like to share.

First of all, it feels really good to play a more engaging version of Palm Island. Upgrading a card and getting to use it for the rest of a long game is very satisfying. You pay the cost, put it in your discard pile, and can't wait to draw it again.

This game BEGS you to play it again. It's fast-paced, you can approach it in completely different ways, and it's really easy to get back on the table. And that's exactly why the legacy mechanics — which I usually love so much — feel a little off here.

Even if you refuse to destroy cards, you still have to glue on some stickers and modify cards in ways you can't undo. I'm not sure I can express exactly what I mean, but combined with what I said above, this game is physically so simple — basically 95% just a deck of cards — that it feels bad knowing you'd have to destroy it and buy another copy to play it fresh again.

And of course I saved this one for last: the AI slop. Even though I really loved the mechanics, as I said, this game is rough to even look at. The art, besides being obviously AI-generated, is SO UGLY. All the character cards are stereotypical and horribly designed. It feels so poorly put together that, deep down, it kind of stings to think I spent money on this lol.

So, that's it. To sum it up: the game is mechanically fun and easy to play — you can even run a turn while doing other things — but it's awful to look at, it confirms the whole AI slop controversy around FryxGames, and the legacy mechanics feel a little odd here. I'd much rather they were more "reversible" in a game this cheap and simple. I played it and wanted to share some thoughts, and also hear what you all have to say about it. Thanks!

I’ve been mulling if I should go for The White Castle: Matcha or a different game for both solo and multiplayer. I like the action combos of the game while taking relatively not much table space. I was considering other games like Cascadia, Neko Syndicate, or Bullet Star as other quick and light games that play well on different player counts. For reference, I enjoy worker placement, tableau builders, and deck building. Would love to hear others’ thoughts about it

I am seeking a thematically rich game with exceptional illustrations.

Ideally, the rules should be intuitive and easy to grasp, unlike the complexity found in Marvel Champions.

I got MTG Turtle Team-Up to introduce MTG to my partner. She did not like the idea of playing against me, but preferred the option of a co-op system where we can work together. After our first round together, I saw the potential of it being a solo experience.

For those that don't know, Turtle Team Up has a boss deck and an event deck. The boss consists of three rounds. Round one is 1 boss, then 2, then finally 3. Each turn an event card is played on the bosses turn. It plays out pretty smoothly, the bosses can't block (stop you attacking) and are forced to attack each turn themselves.

I played a few rounds and liked it, however it was too easy. I went searching for other boss and event decks that somebody had made, but did not have any luck. I decided to make some of my own. I made changes to the [Boss Deck](https://www.reddit.com/r/custommagic/comments/1szuwue/turtle\_teamup\_custom\_bosses/) and later the [Event Deck](https://www.reddit.com/r/custommagic/comments/1tfgxk7/turtle\_teamup\_custom\_event\_cards/).

Both the boss and event cards have nasty modes now...As well as some other villains.

These changes opened up the game immensely. They also fixed some limitations, (e.g. cards targeting all Turtle Creatures, now target all Legendary Creatures), it also made it more challenging. It's more dynamic and things get out of hand fast. I feel completely at odds against the new bosses and event cards, it's great.

I won...Just

This project opened up this whole hobby for me. Now I have researched other solo physical gaming experiences. I am having an absolute blast with Vantage and I will eventually get some more solo board games to get lost in.

TL/DR: I made changes to a co-op mtg game mode to make it brutal and fun solo, opening up this new hobby of solo board gaming to me.

Which are also more or less deep (not just dice chucking), and not very tiny sized. Any examples besides Gloomhaven Jaws of Lion?

I myself probably will take around 2-5 plays. What about you?

Almost for the same price I can get the Terra mystica big box or only the base Gaia project game.

I like both games, but never played solo, Gaia is that better than TM for solo? Wich would you get?

TM big box has solo, more factions and some expansion with nem mechanic

OK Solo board gamers, the more I see of this the more I want to late pledge, but as I stream alot of solo content on YouTube, I wonder weather the base game is enough? Or does anyone have experience playing solo and how did u find it?

I am teetering on the edge of pledging but cant quite make up my mind if I should or what level I should pledge at!

Picking up the heat legends expansion when it drops this week or next on gamenerdz. I need to grab another game for that free shipping. I have a pretty decent collection a lot of the usual suspects from the top lists. What are some games you love that I might not have played? Generally prefer worker placement and deck building. Open to any good stuff though.

So I haven't played any of the Unmatched games before but watched some gameplay and they look fun, but have struggled to find anyone interested to play with.

When I saw the TMNT set being co-op I was super pumped as I love TMNT - looks like it'll be a lot of fun solo.

Has anyone played it?

Pros, Cons?

Regulars to the solo table for me are LOTR, Kinfire Delve, Final Girl, Ashes Reborn.

I am loving ace of spades. The whole reason I got into solo board gaming was to be able to play a game of magic against myself or a game of poker against myself. One year and like 10 franchisees later I found this game.

The deal is, it’s only got so many enemies and it doesn’t play against you. Can anybody think of a way that the enemy might be automated to increase replayability?

Maybe by rolling dice to determine behavior or a system that somebody has put online that I’m not seeing.
