I got... nothing so far, probably will buy 2 adventure games and maybe Queen's Wish 1 since it's at its lowest discounted price yet.

Talisman Origins? Wrong move. It's crap. The main game otoh, with some expansions, is fun for a couple of plays from time to time, when you don't wan't to play anything serious. It somehow calms my nerves. And this edition is much better than the one i played as a boardgame in the early 90s.

I am interested in single player and from what I read the main game it's kinda crap when it comes to that

Boardgame adaptations tend to be weak when it comes to singleplayer as they are naturally designed for multiplayer.

Gloomhaven is decent single player. As boardgame multi too, played (and playing) it both ways. You are still correct, it is probably one of few exceptions to the rule.

Disagree. Origins is the bad one in every way. The base game is fun - but only for a while. AI is not terrible (not great either) - that helps a little. But in general, such games aren't meant to be played alone. Or even via internet if you ask me. Boardgames are by far best when played as they are meant to be.

Gloomhaven (the original boardgame) is designed to be playable single player or multiplayer. Probably has a lot to do with it. Whereas trying to play Talisman (boardgame) by yourself would be ultra gay.

Picked up "Sex with Stalin" for ~0.30$. At this price couldn't resist a title like that. Who could.

A number of other things came out as well these last couple days:


A nod to Another World/Flashback.

Sidescroller/lite vania about a Crusader returning and driving out sin from his plague ridden hometown by entering the minds of those around him.

That price for what I believe is a 14 year old game, never change Slitherine(actually by all means do):

The Sonic murder mystery is an April's Fools joke, right?
