Bought Arkham Horror yesterday. Sadly no solo tactical wargames were published in Poland.
That's a really cool game that I have but have only been able to play alone so far. Prepare to spend an afternoon or two just figuring out all the rules.
Solo play is fun, I use 3 investigators so that there is a chance of winning, while keeping things manageable. I approach it as more of a role-playing sort of game than strictly trying to win.
Just played my first complete solo game. Oh God, this game is cruel XD . 8 gates and then fighting with one of the old ones. The old one had a special rule that made me test for losing each item. I failed every test XD . And I was playing a scientific worker, so I had only 3 of fighing stat. I got destroyed in three rounds. Oh and I forgot that closing gates should remove some monsters :/ . I tend to forget about it.
My first Arkham Horror game was in a boardgame club about a year. It was a 3 player game. We won after about 3 hours of playing. Never got to play it there again.
It's an awesome game. My only problem with it is the size of the board. The only place I can put it on is my bed (it's a bit too big for the kitchen table and the length of the game would interfere with other things to do in kitchen). Playing for so long while kneeling is rather uncomfortable. I can forget about using Dunwich and Innsomouth expansions since I have no place for them.
It's a very absorbing game. A great way to calm down after the struggle of reality.
