I bought Cartographers last year during a board game shopping spree, because it was part of BoardGameGeek’s 2021 people’s choice Top 200 Solo Board games.

The Brass Age is a Steampunk, bag and tableau building card battle game for one player, designed by Barny Skinner. It was crowned best Solo print-and-play game in BoardGameGeek’s 2021 contest. Is it that good? Lets dive in, and see what the fuss is all about. The Brass Age...

I’ve been on a “Print and Play” (PnP) streak recently as I’m trying to curb my board game spending. What I’m finding as I dig more and more into PnP board games is that there are a lot (a lot!) of them, and some of them are basically AAA...

In my quest to find great Solo Print-and-Play (PnP) board games, Agent Decker has been recommended to me multiple times. Ultimately I liked it but felt it has limited replayability value. Here’s why: Agent Decker – Gameplay Agent Decker is a free deckbuilder game, which you can print at...

Final Girl has been getting a lot of press lately, and currently sits at a score of 8.6/10 on boardgamegeek, something rarely seen for a solo only game. With a record-breaking ongoing Kickstarter for Season 2 of Final Girl, which will bring more monsters and locations to the game,...

TL,DR: Black Sonata is a Print and Play (free) solo game with a very unique mechanic of hidden movement. It’s extremely elegant and a must have for any solo gamer. Difficult not to recommend, in particular since it’s free. Note that a retail version exists, with high quality components...

Disclaimer: This review is for the free Print-And-Play version of the game. Under Falling Skies was also recently released as a “full fledged” board game with additional campaign, and is getting great reviews (I’m not surprised). Check it out on Amazon. The wonderful world of Print and Play board...
