"Easy and accessible game. Might completely replace Imperial Settlers for me!" [SGOYT]
2016-05-31
"A random game where card-counting/knowledge of the Decktet helps a lot." [SGOYT]
2016-05-30
"I'm in deck-builder heaven. Or dinosaur hell. One or the other." [SGOYT]
2016-05-01
"Quick, relaxing yet interesting deck-builder with great artwork." [SGOYT]
2016-05-16
"Not as quick as my Apprentice deck, but the multi faction and transform cards are a lot of fun. The solo rules need to be tweaked a little to give the Cult dummy player more of a chance." [SGOYT]

"[/COLOR]This is a fantastic, thinky co-op deckbuilder. [COLOR=#FFFFFF]" [SGOYT]
2016-05-14
"[/COLOR]This is a fun and challenging cooperative deck-builder with a ton of replayability due to the randomness of the set up. Very glad I picked this up.[COLOR=#FFFFFF]" [SGOYT]
2016-05-25
"Great "retro" artwork, good for quick and light multiplayer games, but lots of luck of the draw and poorly suited for solo play." [SGOYT]
2016-05-02
"Great art, solid components, small box, large footprint." [SGOYT]
2016-05-10
"Completed the 7 x7 grid for the first time playing the "Carc Island" variant." [SGOYT]
2016-05-20
"Challenging tile placement game with simple rules and plenty of depth and variability." [SGOYT]
2016-05-20

2016-05-04
"Fascinating theme, looks great, very tense, and I want to play again despite losing my first game. A States of Siege style game based on "the strangest battle of WWII."" [SGOYT]
2016-05-29
"More challenging than it looks, and it would be hard to find a better 10-minute dice game." [SGOYT]
2016-05-27
"Much better than average dice game that's quick to play and a lot of fun for a game or two." [SGOYT]
2016-05-13
"Solid medium-weight co-op with some deck-building and lots of historical flavor. The religious theme works great: it's informative, but it doesn't preach at you. Plays solo with hardly any changes to…" [SGOYT]
2016-05-01
"Dawn of the Zeds is an incredibly fun thematic game that requires players to balance long-term objectives with short-term survival." [SGOYT]
2016-05-17
"The AG-8 ship is an interesting one to play; lots more potential for exploration of its abilities I think!" [SGOYT]
2016-05-18

2016-05-13
"Fun solitaire WW2 game with plenty of strategic decisions required to win." [SGOYT]
2016-05-02
"Light puzzle game you can setup and play in less than an hour. Make up a story as you play. Not as fun as multiplayer, but still really good." [SGOYT]

2016-05-24

2016-05-16
"Still really enjoying the solo campaign. Roll on the next episode!" [SGOYT]
2016-05-12

2016-05-16
"The best of the Legendary series. Made me sell the Marvel version. Great tense play, use two characters for solo. I renew my call for [b]Legendary: Bladerunner[/b]!! Perhaps with the new movie..." [SGOYT]
2016-05-26
"Villains are taking over my deck-builder, and I love it! But I hate the small washed-out card text." [SGOYT]
2016-05-20
"A very fun, Marvel-themed deckbuilder that has yet to disappoint me." [SGOYT]
2016-05-07
"Starter League play - still for me the best deck builder thanks to the theme theme theme but also the clever way different schemes change up the gameplay and even the board." [SGOYT]

2016-05-30
"The Dead Marshes is a fun adventure which introduces an interesting new "Escape" mechanic. Looking forward to replaying this adventure pack!" [SGOYT]
2016-05-09
"The hills of Emyn Muil is a boring "adventure" where nothing actually seems to happen." [SGOYT]
2016-05-29
"Highly recommended for Abstract enthusiasts. With a little print scaling, a Pocket/In-A-Tin game." [SGOYT]
2016-05-08
"Another victory and I think I'm starting to get the hang of this game." [SGOYT]
2016-05-03

2016-05-18

Posted as: Pandemic: State of Emergency (2015) [BGG]
2016-05-05
"Co-op dice chucker that has just the right amount of dice chucking, strategy, and luck. Played 3 roles and only had one disease to go before humanity was lost." [SGOYT]
2016-05-09
"I expect to return to this game often. The experiences so far have been very different but none of them have been frustrating. Luck has a role to play but is not overpowering." [SGOYT]
2016-05-22
"Great two player game, solo variants are nice but not me cup of tea." [SGOYT]
2016-05-15
"Less than perfect rules translation. Probably a fun mini civilization-building game in here somewhere. Plays quick even with a poor understanding of the rules." [SGOYT]

2016-05-14
"A fast, clever, and nice-looking card game that I am looking forward to trying with the various combinations of expansion cards" [SGOYT]
2016-05-17
"Tells a great story with many twists and turns of fate. Both joy and agony accompany you on this amazing journey!" [SGOYT]
2016-05-17
"Robinson Family scenario is an amazing sandbox to play. I can see myself happy to play just this scenario for the forseeable future." [SGOYT]
2016-05-09
"Just the right mix of dice and civilization building in a short amount of time." [SGOYT]
2016-05-02
"A tough game that may appear luck-driven at first, but reveals its depth over multiple plays." [SGOYT]
2016-05-03
"Fast, fun and thematic. Although I find it doesn't have a lot of strategy involved I keep coming back." [SGOYT]
2016-05-15
"First impressions. Great theme, grab a drink and enjoy the stories it tells. But ultimately I won't be keeping it!" [SGOYT]
2016-05-23
"Clear the rubble, lay your track, and score your points. Excellent solo experience with interesting choices on every turn, but never makes your brain ache." [SGOYT]
2016-05-05
"The smoothness and elegance of this game helps me see past the beat your own high score goal in solo." [SGOYT]
2016-05-27
"I love this WAY more than Galaxy Defenders. The varying missions, the variability during the missions, the effect of which crew you take. Really well done game. Great components too." [SGOYT]
2016-05-23
"I would say this killed Galaxy Defenders, but that game killed itself. This one however is a fun, less cumbersome, Sci-Fi Crawl. Well done!" [SGOYT]
2016-05-23
"Fast, fun, dice-based solitaire. Feels a lot like the multiplayer game." [SGOYT]
2016-05-31
"A fun deck builder -- more strategy than at first glance and the solo opponents are a great challenge." [SGOYT]
2016-05-18
"[/COLOR]A light but engaging dice chucker.[COLOR=#FFFFFF]" [SGOYT]
2016-05-10
"One of my favorite solo games, and I prefer it to multiplayer. City-building, tile-laying, and just enough trouble from Dale the Bot to make every game different, challenging, and fun." [SGOYT]
Posted as: T.I.M.E Stories: The Marcy Case (2015) [BGG]
2016-05-26
"Engrossing story telling and puzzle solving. Best with 4. Solo is fun but it is so rich multiplayer that if able-stick to the intended play." [SGOYT]
Posted as: T.I.M.E Stories: Under the Mask (2016) [BGG]
2016-05-11
"Great dice and art with interesting mechanics and several solo opponents to defeat, but I never get excited about the dice rolls. OK game which is sort of tiny but hardly epic." [SGOYT]

2016-05-21
"Relaxing and nice-looking tile-laying puzzle with several solo variants to choose from in the BGG forums." [SGOYT]
2016-05-12
"Egyptian-themed deck-builder with set-collection and card-scrapping for scoring. A step-up in complexity and time from Star Realms and Ascension. I like it!" [SGOYT]
2016-05-25
"Automa finally got taken down after Papa gave me the Cottage of Lucky Visitor Cards." [SGOYT]
2016-05-18
"[/COLOR]The Aggressive Automa variant is highly recommended if you are starting to find the standard solo difficulty not challenging enough.[COLOR=#FFFFFF]" [SGOYT]
2016-05-18
"Upping the level to Hard Aggressive changes this game from a passive Euro to an in your face challenge. All who own this should give it a shot." [SGOYT]
2016-05-21
"Intense, action filled, every decision important, with an array of challenge possible, from easy to very hard missions." [SGOYT]
2016-05-08

2016-05-03
"A good quick game. If you're going to lose, you're going to know..." [SGOYT]
2016-05-03
"Fast, thematic solo deck-builder. It's tough! But plays quick and gives you that "just one more try" feeling." [SGOYT]

"A simple game with some tough decisions but an epic scale of the never ending zombie crush that always gives you stories." [SGOYT]
