A pretty little "thinking" game with nice quality material components, Harmonies is a serene game of building for points salad. It plays well with two people and is fairly addictive in that I'm still thinking days later of how I can improve my game next time. It gets better with each playing as you learn the patterns and understand the scoring. Win or lose, it's very satisfying to create habitats for your animals. The goal is to have enough animals points and while also maximizing the points for terrain. The score sheets make this very clear, which is really nice and makes tallying up after the game easier. If you invite a third or fourth to play, maybe set a timer for how long your "problem" friend with choice paralysis is allowed to contemplate their move.
Absolutely love CloudAge. It's super accessible, not too difficult to learn, and feels unique. The story is decent, however it is mostly there to support your actions in the game. The only reason I dropped 1 star is because of the scoring mechanics in the game, where I found it extremely difficult to score well in each of the chapters even after getting used to the gameplay. However, the scoring does not prevent you from completing and enjoying the campaign. I also found the normal rules a bit rough as a solo player, which can prevent you from gaining any resources at all when picking a resource card. Adding a small house rule of at least gaining 1 resource in those instances can be a life saver (and was approved by the designer on BGG). Overall though, thoroughly enjoy it and is part of my favorite games in my collection so far.
I got Bullet Orange mostly because I used to play the associated Orange Juice titles years ago, so it's a nice expansion for me. Not difficult to play, great addition for anyone looking to add more to their Bullet experience. Side note that you do require Heart or Star since the expansion only comes with the characters, not the bullets.
I got Warp's Edge as an entry title in my solo board gaming adventure because it gets recommended left and right, and it turned out to not be for me. I initially figured it was because I wasn't used to board gaming yet, but no matter how many times I try it, I just get bored and move to a different game. It's a decent bag building game, but it just doesn't build up any excitation over time for me and I don't see myself picking it back up anytime soon.
Despite this, I do feel that it indeed is a good game to start with for the price to get started with solo board gaming. It's easy to set up, offers quite a bit of variety with different bosses, and is simple to understand. Chances are most people will enjoy it. It remains a good entry title.
Has been my go to for all of my games, absolutely love them. Shuffles well, mixes well, love the feel and texture. I've also used these for the larger cards in Voidfall, though the sleeves are a bit too long. Shaving off the excess with a paper trimmer worked wonders and did not cause any issues with the sleeve.
