My most anticipated games of 2024

After my recent top 10 of 2023, it’s time to look ahead to what 2024 will bring when it comes to gaming. I looked at all the games on their way to me and figured I might as well make a top 10 out of it. So here we go!

My most played games of 2021

It’s that time of year again! December means its list making time again, and I’m happy to oblige. This time I decided to do just one post (as opposed to this one from last year) – more on why later. On to the lists of my most played games for 2021, both solitaire and multiplayer!

My favorite games of 2020 (and what to look forward to in 2021)

It’s that time of year again! As december winds to a close it’s time to make lists again. This year I decided to tone it down a little compared to last years extravaganza (which was quite the experience to revisit while writing this article!). You might have already seen my my most played games of 2020, both for solo and multiplayer. Today I present you the games of 2021 to look forward to, as well as my favorite games I played in 2020.

My most played games of 2020

It’s that time of year again! As december winds to a close it’s time to make lists again. This year I decided to tone it down a little compared to last years extravaganza (which was quite the experience to revisit while writing this article!). I will be making four lists, presented over two posts – today, my most played games, both for solo and multiplayer; soon after, games of 2021 to look forward to as well as my favorite games I played in 2020.

Gloomhaven – NOT a solo review

Just my luck – right when I finally managed to get a board gaming group together again on a semi-regular basis, a worldwide pandemic hit and I was stuck playing purely solo again. Which I don’t mind – but I did appreciate the gaming nights. One day, someone sent a group text: ‘I ordered Gloomhaven‘. It took months of waiting – until gaming felt safe again, and until the game actually got delivered – but there it was. The Big G. The fact that I’m writing my first definitely-not-solo review should be a preamble to my final conclusion.

The adventuring quest for an adventure quest game

Once upon a time there was a young mage who was ready for adventure. He was gonna take on the world and all its nasty foul inhabitants, conquer wonderful locations and find the wealthiest of treasures – all from the comfort of his own home! He even started a blog with the subtitle ‘solo adventures in a cardboard world’. But where was the adventure while he was so desperately waiting for it, spending his days on cursed islands, in war zones, on Mars, in a galaxy far far away, or just… doing office work?

Stidjens boardgame extravaganza 2019

As the year 2019 winds to a close I can look back at a great year. I’ve played and acquired fantastic games, went to Spiel in Essen for the first time, and more and more people find their way to Stidjen Plays Solo. On the personal side, my girlfriend and me bought our first house together and we made a beautiful trip to Bali. Now is the time to look back – what were my most played games? What games do I still need to play? And what will 2020 bring? All of those questions shall be answered in my final post for 2019.
