A solo game done right. It's quick to set up and quick to play, yet full of interesting decisions. 
There will be games when the rolls are falling just right and there will be crazy games when you were sure you had the victory in your hand, just to get a few bad rolls and you are fighting for your life.

Playing Time: 60-120 minutes

This is a hard game with tons of choices. A rare game that caused me some serious AP problems. The theme is very interesting and well implemented. This worker placement is for the hardcore gamers.

Publisher: Serious Poulp
Players: 1-4
Playing Time: 5-1000 minutes
Mechanisms: Hand Management,Modular Board, Cooperative Game, Solo
Sleeves: S80 80x80mm

It's more of a solo game than anything esle.. because if you manage to find another person that is willing to spend 10-100 hours to play this game with you.. it's already a miracle.
The exploration and learning of the continent to facilitate the next runs is a great idea.

 

81. Betrayal at House on the Hill

SPOT: 2024 >> 2025 -3

Publisher: Avalon Hill 
Players: 3-6
Playing Time: 60 minutes
Mechanisms: Cooperative Game, Dice Rolling, Modular Board

Searching around the house until you get enough problems that one player gets crazy and now others have to survive/fight/escape the bad guy, a great idea that sometimes fails but usually is fun enough that this game is worth playing.
