So im going to have a little bit of spare cash coming up and I would like to plump for a new solo board game. So here are two questions for you lot.

1) I have been thinking about scythe but it feels like it will take forever solo. Ling setup, long play, long pack up. How long in your experience does it take solo?

2) do you have any suggestions for great solos? Details in following toot

What I have enjoyed this year.

Blackstone Fortress.
Nemo’s War.
7th Continent.

What I look for in a solo. (Although they don’t have to tick all boxes)
Quick setup and pack away. Campaign.
Good feel of narrative.
Session length of about an hour.

Im really looking for next years big solo game that I can start and play in several sessions over the year or be an ongoing campaign. The perfect game would basically be a solo rpg in board game format. Any ideas?

Oh it looks like you want a game that occupies much more table space than I have @big_chip, so perhaps my recommendations aren't as useful.

@bignose oh no I don’t want something that takes up too much space as we don’t have it. Blackstone fortress barely fits on my table. Nemo’s War is just about the maximum size and even then I have to put bags of tokens on the floor. I can’t leave a game out set up either because of the table being our only one.

I feel that, @big_chip
