March 2026: The Aggregator Turns 10 Years Old! Thanks everyone for the support. If you have suggestions for improvements, let me know at onesuponagame@gmail.com.
"Ascendancy has a lot of choices and possibilities with some clever ideas, but tries to do everything in a tutorial scenario that is more frustrating than fun." [SGOYT]
"For solo only, this set can be extremely luck-of-the-draw dependent, which will heavily affect the ability to build a powerful deck. As a result this set is quite frustrating as I am not a fan of hea…" [SGOYT]
"A nice little filler with difficulty that you can dial up if you're looking for a more serious brain-burner. If you like deckbuilders and fancy a fresh take on the mechanic, you'll enjoy this one." [SGOYT]
"Simple rules but decision space is there. 2 solo modes with scenarios and achievements, perfect solo puzzle to relax and reflect once your 3 paintings are done. More than meet the eyes. A real experi…" [SGOYT]
"Cloud Empress is a fantastic, mysterious setting filled with danger and strife, but also endless stories with an interesting solo mode and interesting characters." [SGOYT]
"A unique legacy storytelling game that spans over 2 campaigns of about 4-5hrs each. It is the perfect length to get totally immersed in the universe of the game and its protagonists. It is cozy yes b…" [SGOYT]
"Daydream is a calm sort of roll-and-write with 8 different ways to play to customize the puzzle experience and dial the challenge up or down with various mechanics." [SGOYT]
"Would I recommend this game for every solo player? Ummmm, no, I don't think I would. I enjoy it and won't be getting rid of it anytime soon but, I can see this becoming a bit overwhelming for some pe…" [SGOYT]
"This small deck-builder where you flip cards to upgrade them is a nice concept. But it's too difficult and frustrating when playing multiplayer and too easy when playing solo." [SGOYT]
"Fantastic Factories has a unique and clean art style around constructing buildings and hiring contractors to use neat dice-based worker placement to score the most." [SGOYT]
"A very good film game, those are very rare, and a good hidden movement game with little rules overload. An enjoyable game but not solitaire frendly." [SGOYT]
"Kinfire Delve: Vainglory's Grotto is a small box game that scratches the optimization puzzle itch in a gorgeous package, but can fail to deliver a smile at the end of the game" [SGOYT]
"Sort of deck-building, sort of roguelike, only 36 cards and unusual mechanics. Very interesting, but also quite long and a bit too much work." [SGOYT]
"Nusfjord still won't make me a big Euro worker placement fan (I like the concept, but usually not the point salad side), but for a little "solo gaming snack" aka playable in about 30 minutes, Nusfjor…" [SGOYT]
"Leaves and Spices is a delightful, cozy scavenger hunt through a cookbook to collect various ingredients as a simple but enjoyable game-adjacent activity." [SGOYT]
"Pandemic: Fall of Rome is an excellent iteration on the system with interesting strategies around protecting Rome and finding ways to slow barbarian invasions." [SGOYT]
"Railroad Tiles features simple tile-laying mechanics with a set of solo missions and random objective tiles that offers lightweight fun and relaxing artwork." [SGOYT]
"Red Rising offers a lot of different strategies with beautiful cards that can be used for abilities or saved for final scoring, all in a relatively quick play time." [SGOYT]
"Tenby is delightful and adorable with its various cards that form streets, yet the icons can be small and the focus is on scoring opportunities, which can be tedious to count." [SGOYT]
