Dune: Imperium – Uprising
Dune: Imperium Uprising adds spies and sandworms to the beloved hybrid formula. Great solo mode, but sandworm strategy can dominate.

Brass: Birmingham
Brass: Birmingham is BGG's top-rated game, but the learning curve is brutal. An honest review after three plays.

Imperium: Legends
Imperium Legends expands the series into fantasy with higher complexity civilizations. A must-have for solo gamers who loved Classics and want more depth.

Imperium: Horizons
Imperium Horizons offers 14 civilizations, the best rulebook, and top-tier components. It's also the most complex and expensive entry in the series

Imperium: Classics
Imperium Classics delivers deep strategy, historical accuracy, and the best solo mode I've played. A civilization builder for patient, dedicated gamers.

Codenames
Codenames is a modern classic—fun, accessible, and most people already know the rules. Great for parties, though the analysis paralysis can drag.

So Clover!
So Clover! is an easy-to-teach cooperative word game ideal for family gatherings and non-gamers. Quick to play, but limited depth.

Decrypto
Decrypto is my favorite word game of all time. A brilliant team-based code-cracking experience—if your group can handle the rules.

20 Strong
20 Strong from Chip Theory Games offers quick, premium solo gameplay with multiple themed decks. Great for travel and busy schedules, but limited replayability.

7 Wonders Duel
After 800+ games, 7 Wonders Duel remains my favorite two-player game. Easy rules, deep strategy, and endless replayability. A perfect 10/10.

Legacy of Yu
Legacy of Yu offers a breezy solo campaign with lightning-fast setup but limited challenge. A solid 7/10 for casual solo gamers seeking a short commitment.
