Enemy Action: Kharkov. From my favourite designer - John Butterfield. This and the first game in the series EA: Ardennes are hands down the greatest solo wargames ever made. The game comes with three rulebooks - currently playing Soviet solo.

This War Of Mine. Not the most thematically fun game on the planet, but I pull this one out at least a couple of times a year due to it's excellent solo narrative. Easy to run but punishingly difficult - I've only ever won this once.

Labyrinth w/ expansions solo. Designed by the legendary @volko.bsky.social. I return to this game at least a few times a year and love it every time. Having witnessed the events in the timeline makes it all the more fascinating. It'll never leave my collection.

And that's a win! Came down to the wire as Georgia would have steamrolled through the second fort and claimed their final victory card unless I attacked it first. Luckily I'd invented flight on my previous turn, so flying over the water to attack the fort was no issue. Love this game.

Civ: A New Dawn + Terra Incognita expansion with the official/unofficial solo mode. This game is the ultimate underrated gem in all of boardgaming. The base game deserves it's 7.2 bgg ranking, but the expansion fixes all of it and elevates it to an 8.5 IMO.

Playing AFFO + Norwegians solo for the first time in a long time. No real strategy because it's been so long, but man this game just feels so nice to play. Highly recommend Norwegians for anyone playing this solo or 2-player.

Been hunting this for a while, primarily for solo. Last played the OG version of this way back when it released. Planning on printing off the "official" fan made solo mode based on the new Special Edition solo system 🎲

Currently playing David Turczi's "Tawantinsuyu" solo. Opinion so far = Highly strategic with plenty of planning and minimal luck. Biggest downside is the case specific micro-rules that could easily be pushed from the rulebook to a player board. Still enjoying it though!

Arkham Horror LCG.
Up to scenario 3 in the Carcosa campaign. Passed the first but failed the second when my investigators were overcome by madness as they scrambled to escape.
This campaign is top tier. Definitely recommend as a good first campaign for anyone getting into the game

My custom designed, 3d printed storage solution for Eldrich Horror + all mini expansions. This fits everything, including all of the expansion manuals (they fit on top of the token box) with no lid lift. Pretty proud of this one.

I also designed and printed some player boards heavily based on the excellent Strata Strike design. In the process of being painted.
