What’s your favorite solos, overall?
There is a separate thread for discussing lightweight specifically, so I’m creating this thread in addition :)
For me it’d be Spirit Island. A bit of a brain heater, and I love it.
Also Sentinels of the multiverse DE. Really fun one, can’t wait for expansions
I recently picked up Glass Road, which I like, though I do find a bit stressful due to its tightness (very few rounds, hard to optimise a bad draw of tiles). Would you recommend Odin or Arle for a slightly more laid back game?
Both are pretty chill. There is a feeding phase in both but it’s not difficult to come by food, it’s more of a question of how efficiently are you able to do it.
If undecided I’d consider whether or not the polyomino filling part of Feast looks interesting to you. For me personally if I could only have one or the other I’d probably go with Feast.
Are there plenty of routes to choose from? I’m mindful of longer games where you feel you’re doing the same thing each time. I’d heard that Arle has some nice variety, I should probably watch some playthroughs.
I do like polyonimos, though 🙂
Yes, plenty of ways to go in both. In Feast the occupation cards steer you in directions but it’s a take it or leave it, you can always just go off and do something else. In Arle the buildings serve a similiar purpose.
Both have good online implementations if you want to try first, including solo. Feast is on BGA, Arle is on Yucata.
Oh wow, I didn’t realise those existed! You’ve either saved me some money, or cost me a small fortune. Either way, thank you.
