4 handed! That does seem like a lot. Why not play the solo mode?

That’s the next one I’m digging into. Thoughts?

A classic for a reason!

They’re out there! They’re called Gamebooks. Here’s one I’ve had my eye on.

Have you tried Black Sonata? Same publisher managed to make a solo hidden movement work.

Thank you for following up!

“Arkham Horror 2e Lite and it’s Buffy,” sounds incredible!
I’m going to keep an eye out for a decent price!

Yeah, I’m aware of the Legendary one. I got pretty into Marvel Legendary back in the day, but I got pretty sick of it, so I haven’t checked out any of the Legendary Encounters games.

I’m very curious about the board game, though. Have you tried it? Is it any good?

Welp, as a massive fan of both BtVS and solo board gaming, I’m pretty devastated to learn about this game at the same time as finding out it’s hard to find.

Nice! I’m also looking forward to breaking out Evomorph. I agree

Dr. Fright is fun. That damn boiler room is really tense! Of the 3 I’ve played (Camp, Maple Drive, and Big Bad Wolf), he’s my favorite so far.

Damn, that’s a great setup. I’m just getting into this one. Do you have a favorite feature?
February 13, 2025 at 1:03 AM
And thanks again!

Just got into it! Like, this month I went from no Final Girl to 5 Feature Films.
I really enjoyed Hostage Negotiator, and it’s fun to see how they refined and expanded that system.

Earth. Looks amazing, but can’t get myself to dig into it. So many cards!

Have you ever done any solo gaming?

That alter-ego ability is a thing of beauty.

That’s actually really fair. A couple of them did kind of over stay their welcome a bit.
