Solo Game Reviews
All in one place! 
NB: My reviews now appear in video form on The Dice Tower. I have stopped producing written reviews because I wanted to write something different. Check out my Articles page for my current board game writing.

Welcome to the written reviews page! This part of the site is a continual work in progress where I will review as many solo-playable games as is humanly possible. Reviews posted to my main blog will be linked here in alphabetical order for you to explore. 

Games reviewed on this page are now also entered into BGG, if you want to see a graph of my numerical ratings. 
​
My reviews have a rating scale of 1–5 stars, with these meanings: 

5 - I love it!
4 - I really like it.
3 - I like it.
2 - It's okay. 
1 - Meh. 

This scale is based on the Goodreads rating scale. Please enjoy, and if you'd like to request a review of a game that isn't on this list, feel free to contact me about it. (Click "contact" on the top right of this page.)

Full Disclosure: I aim to review games ethically. What this means is that I do not accept payment from game publishers in order to produce game reviews—or for any other reason. I do accept review copies, and I make it a practice to disclose when I have received one. My reviews reflect my own opinions, and only my opinions.
