PRE-ORDER: Solus Lost

It’s a creative and easy-to-learn game that was enjoyable to play initially. However, after a few rounds, I found it repetitive because I had become familiar with the cards and the deck’s mechanics. The familiarity made it evident to predict the game’s outcome, which became monotonous.

I purchased the booster pack, which was a disappointment in my opinion. It only contained a few captains and other spaceships. While it’s great that you can mix and match these cards, it would be more beneficial to include booster packs for the play deck as well. Introducing new cards and scenarios could significantly enhance the game’s interest and replayability. TThe game has the potential to become an excellent single-player card game, but it needs more elements to make it truly special.

Pros: The artwork is great, and the printing is clear. The game is easy to play, making it a great choice for a quick half-hour of entertainment.

The game becomes repetitive after a few rounds. Damage tokens could be exchanged for D6 dice, even mini-sized ones, to accommodate the limited storage space of the box. Additionally, due to the quality of the card stock, card sleeves are recommended.

I haven’t played many solo tabletop games, but I’m a big fan of tabletop games and I have to say this is the most fun single player game I’ve ever played. Comes in a neat little box and has high quality cards and pieces. Also like how good the booster items are. Highly recommended!

Loving this game a ton! Everything about the game is high quality from the art to the cards to the packaging. The gameplay is as brutal as it is rewarding!

It's a lot of fun, with just the right amount of complexity and decision making. The build quality of the cards and the box are great, especially considering the price.

Played one failed expedition. Started well but ran into an overlord that took me out. As dice chuckers go, this isn't bad, but I'm curious to know how fair the die that comes with the game is.

This game is great. I have only played 1 time so far and was thinking it was to easy. I only needed 1 more homelink but I flipped an enemy ship (don't remember which one) I thought heck I have had great rolls all game I got this. 3 rolls later I was dead. Had a blast and didn't expect the suspense.

Great game, easy to understand, the vanguard booster adds another layer to the core game. I highly recommend it!

I really enjoyed my first run through of this game. As a dad and student, I don't get a lot of time to play games these days, so I appreciate how quick it was to set up and play.

A fun solo game that is affordable and well designed.

Just got mine in the mail today. Immediately sat down and read through the complete manual. Played 2 back to back games. Had a blast. Can’t wait till expansion comes out.

This is a really smooth solo experience. It's not difficult to learn or play. The challenges come from choices and what ifs ..... It plays pretty quick too.

haven't played yet but looks fun from a YouTube video I watched. I love challenges.

clean packaging, unboxing felt epic. I haven't played yet but everything in the box has a good feel the cards them selfs have a playing card feel. Not like a pokemon card but something that feels like it's meant to be played with. I like that

A fun and simple solo game that’s perfect for travel. Great price too. We need more cheaper and fun games like this. Looking forward to the expansion!

Very playable, easy to learn and engaging. Looking forward to learning the deeper strategies. Good mechanics.

This is a fun game to play when I have 30-60 min to get something out. I really like the booster pack with the new ships and pilots.

I've just started playing it and so far it grabs my attention. I like it !

Get this game! My family isn't always up for a long game, but now I can play on my own. It's easy to understand and to set up. So go buy it and get Lost!

The game and mechanics are great. I do feel it’s a bit easy, and only works for me if I bend the rules to make it harder. I wish there were recommended game modes for harder play. I’ve been doubling all damage and doubling all aging to make it a better challenge.

This is my entry into solo card games and I love it. Ive already played 7 games and I'm excited to keep playing. The expansion is worth it, btw.

Super fun game! I really enjoyed the extra ships and pilots in the expansion too, made the game fun replay over and over again

Bought this out of a whim: I am pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy this game. Easy to learn mechanics and challenging at the same time.

This is a great solo game. I have a few playthroughs under my belt, and have won once, and lost twice. I purchased the kit that comes with the plastic tokens and the extra pilots and ships, but haven't tried them yet.

Great quality and a fun enjoyable game. Fast shipping and great customer service. Cant wait to learn all the rules and mechanics.

Such a simple game to set up, but damn did it surprise me. After about 3 or 4 runs, I got a really good start and had a couple tools on board that really helped me keep a strong run going. I finally beat it and allowed myself to open the expansion. I was a little disappointed to only find a few new pilots and ships, but it's worth the cost for the additional replay value.
I'm only about 7 or 8 runs in, and I'm still finding new cards and new random things keep happening. Very good game that plays exactly like all my favorite rouge-like video games. (This is also my first solo board game)

Almost great. The rough finish on the cards triggers something in my brain that's like a butter knife on a chalkboard. They scrape together, don't slide well, and feel cheap in the hands. I played 11 sessions with the booklet open and following along before I finally won my first game. The first round I was dead within a few draws, and I figured that was a fluke. Did a more thorough shuffle and got a few more draws before dying again. After 5 fast back to back losses, even with checking every mechanic against the booklet, I was starting to see balance issues.

The Homelink cards abilities aren't very exciting, and the Destabilizer and Hypernova Core artifacts are way too strong; the game is nearly impossible to win without them and nearly impossible to lose once you have one of them. Both makes the game trivial and the excitement is gone. At this point, if I'm lucky enough to even be able kill two Overlords without getting one of those 2 artifacts I just quit.

What keeps me playing is the atmosphere. I find myself reading all the words on the cards even when I've basically memorized them, and I love imagining being out there in the void trying to get home. I just wish the actual gameplay was up to that same standard.

I bought the starter pack with the pilot and ship booster and the fancy damage tokens. I love the tokens, but so far I've only played with one of the pilots. I really wanted to love the original game and to play that a while before incorporating the booster, but the game was so difficult the majority of the time that I had to find another pilot and ship combo to try to smooth that out a bit.

So much fun!!!

Great solo experience. I was worried because some solo games are largely driven by randomness (i.e., die rolls) but Solus: Lost requires plenty of strategizing and decision making on the part of the player. Fun, challenging, and excellent replay value, especially when paired with the Vanguard booster pack.

Awesome solo game! I've been collecting solo games as of late and this was a perfect addition. Simple, exciting, and always another strategy to discover.
