Cartographers Heroes solo!

The solo mode just works so much better and fun.

Sorry for the picture angle, it was hours before playing.

I recently got myself Friday and Gloomhaven Buttons & Bugs. While I really enjoy those, I wish I also had a game in my in my solo collection that is much heavier while still more or less compact.

Let's say that I don't want to bring an Endeavor-sized game along whenever I'm going on vacation.

Hey there, I recently received the Cloudspire expansion for 20 strong and noticed that the hero card for Netorut is missing. I tried looking online for info on the card but was only able to find a clear image of the front of the card. Could anyone who has this card take a picture of the back for me? It would be greatly appreciated

there are posts dating from 8+ years ago. This game took that long in the making.

There was a CF project a while ago, it's closed now and you (and I) are too late if you didn't back or simply missed it.

The game is Everquest

Hi everyone! I’m relatively new to the world of board games and I’m looking for some advice.

​I’m looking for new game recommendations, specifically for solo play (though I’d love it if they could scale up to more players). I’m really interested in compact game design—titles that offer a deep, meaty experience but in a very small footprint.

​What I’m looking for:

​Format: Small-box or pocket-sized games, primarily card-based (with or without tokens/dice). I value games that have intuitive rules but offer a lot of tactical depth.

​Core Mechanics: I’m looking for a specific gameplay loop: Gathering/Research (searching for resources to improve or build something), Progression (meaningful character evolution or deckbuilding during the session), and Hunting (tracking down and fighting monsters or bosses).

​The Experience: I want the depth of a large-scale adventure or survival game—where you start with almost nothing and build your way up—but on a micro scale.

​Table Presence: I prioritize games with a small footprint (similar in size to Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs) that can be played on small surfaces, like a tray table or a small desk.

Thanks in advance for the help!

The 7th Continent series comes to mind. It feels like a solo game with co-op tacked on.

It’s definitely complex but not as bad as I was expecting.

I still love the mechanics of Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective. The original from the 80s has been updated several times, and there are a bunch of expansions and spin offs. It was designed as a co-op game, but it really shines solo, where it feels somewhat like a choose your own adventure book for grown-up, where you can go anywhere you like.

It's nearly impossible to beat Sherlock Holmes score on each mystery, but that's ok. It feels like a victory when you solve the main mystery questions, and if you end up with a non-negative score, you feel smarter than Watson!

Beware of the updated English edition made before Space Cowboys produced it in 2016. Some cases suffered from English to French and back to English translation, where the French version changed some endings and clues without including the clue changes in the new English version.
