There is an option to buy Firefly the Game with expansions Kalidasa, Blue Sun and Breakin atmo all for cca 110 €. Is it worth it if I want to play it solo only? Im a huge fan of the TV show.

Hi. I am looking for some chill game to play with exploration. Something I can set up quickly after a long day, enjoy some fun without big commitment and be done with it for a session. I do not like optimization puzzle games. I am more into emergent stories, dice chucking, dungeon crawlers. My favourite games are Elder Scrolls BotSE, Too Many Bones, Slay the Spire, SETI, Nemesis, This War of Mine, Deep Rock Galactic, Massive Darkness 2. I don't like games like Mage Knight and Spirit Island. I have tried games like ISS Vanguard and Sleeping Gods Distant Skies, but they didn't work for me. ISS was too much fiddling for the reward and exploration phase was a slog. Regarding Sleeping Gods I didn't like the combat (optimalization puzzle). I was looking into Earthborne Rangers and I am a bit scared it looks little like another optimalization puzzle game? And Vantage looks like a game without purpose? But that is just my first impression. Anyone with experience who can elaborate about those 2 games?

I recently received the Kickstarter Expansion to Crystallo, together with the playmat and the mini version of the base game. There have been a lot of troubles in this campaign, and as a result, it was delayed for a long time. I know we're lucky that they were able to fulfill it at all. It was supposed to be delivered in Jan 2024, and I received it a few weeks ago. The thing is, I don't game as often anymore as I used to, and while I'm still interested in the base game, I'm not excited about trying the expansions. It will probably take some time till I do. Has anyone else had/has experienced this?

For me, it’s The Loop. Crisis management meets deckbuilding. I guess it’s similar in that respect to Deckers and Mycelia (Ravensburger). The artwork is cartoony and charming and straight out of a Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon show. Pandasaurus has teased the public about the possibility of a reprint but there’s nothing concrete yet. What about you?

Anyone in Europe receive their pledges or any info from Gamefound about their order?

I heard that a big delay is due to a lot of people also ordering Cloudspire deck and them being out of stock so just wondering if anyone has additional info

I'm looking for 12 Labors of Hercules to buy in Europe but can't find it anywhere.
Has anyone found a good online shop in Europe that sells it and ships it everywhere?

Considering to purchase Doomcrawler and the soulbound expansion. I printed out the rulebooks for both and they're pretty poorly written. What are your experiences with DC? Any idea of initial difficulty? Any lasting potential?

I know it's a pretty niche product, but some info would be welcome :-)

I just got the email about this new Buttonshy release, might get the PnP. I love the theme and the solo-focus,!

Are there any other good solo Buttonshy games?

I own The Anarchy and I really like it! Is Hadrian’s Wall worth buying or is it too samey?

I started solo board gaming this year for something different. I wanted something tactile and away from screens. I also wanted to scratch my magic the gathering itch without getting sucked back into that very expensive world. This year, I started with Ashes Ascendancy and Arkham Horror, currently completely immersed in the chapter 2 core set and children of blood content. Apart from the enjoyment, I have really come to appreciate the cognitive exercise, especially when playing Arkham. I am keeping track of every little resource, card combos, interactions, key words, counters, and of course the story text. Not to mention the time spent theory crafting and planning out my deck. Pulling off a cool combo or advancing the story just feels like such a satisfying slow burn reward.

I started playing my switch the other night and just could not get back into video games. I play mostly single player RPGs. Everything felt too passive. Constant prompts telling me what to do, characters spelling out the story for me, quest markers just lulling me where to get the next objective, etc. I turned it off and just went back to the table haha. It's like I have no drive to play video games anymore.

I totally understand people who play both and never thought I'd say this, but I now prefer solo board gaming 9 times out 10. Anybody else like this?

PLEASE IM TIRED OF SEARCHING. Recommend me a game that lets you do your engine in many ways and it’s not BYOS only. I also like ares expedition when I want something lighter and still feeling like I’m building my own engine in clever ways
Star Trek not avaible.

Hi! Im looking for my first solo board / card game, and im looking for some recommendations since i know nothing about this hobby.

Id like some simple, easy to get into games that dont take up a lot of space to play.

I really like medieval fantasy, scifi and darker themes.
