What's your favorite solos, overall?
There is a separate thread for discussing lightweight specifically, so I'm creating this thread in addition :)

For me it'd be Spirit Island. A bit of a brain heater, and I love it.
Also Sentinels of the multiverse DE. Really fun one, can't wait for expansions

I'm a little late but would like to contribute while (hopefully) this sub grows. I've only recently gotten into Spirit Island but I really like it, even though I've been getting whooped. It hasn't quite clicked for me yet. My favorite right now overall is probably Hadrian's Wall though.

When I used to travel around the state more for work I always kept Palm Island in my bag. This was the perfect game for me situationally since I could play a round or two in my truck if I arrived somewhere too early. I'm really looking forward to getting my copy of Palm Laboratory.

Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game is my most played solo. I love how modular it is, especially that the loss condition is defined by the scheme card chosen. It works great as either true solo (playing a single deck vs the game) and two handed (playing two player with me controlling both players).

The campaign expansions for Hero Realms are great solo. I love the difficulty balance. On veteran difficulty, I win more often than I lose, but I also spend a lot of the game on the verge of losing, where a wrong decision is going to be an instant loss.

I also love that neither game is super mathy or demands me to calculate my next 4 turns.
