Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Two games we definitively both like are * Mage Knight: Despite it being mainly competitive-focused, we have a lot of fun playing it cooperatively
  • 2. Mage Knight (was my #1 for a decade til I discovered the Haven games)
  • In Mage Knight by the end of the game you can bring whole cities to the ground with just a few cards sometimes. You're basically a demigod.
  • Mage Knight is a really great game solo and the best bit of advice I can give you for the base game is that wounds are a when not an if
  • One of the best games ever made.

Cons

  • sadly I don't have anyone committed enough for Gloomhaven, few friends who I meet with are down for Mage Knight however.
  • Three years later, no one wants to play Mage Knight
  • **Mage Knight** is another one.
  • Mage Knight. I did a 4 player run once. Once. Literally had 40 minutes between turns at one point.
  • I loved it, was amazing. Played it so much. Then I discovered other games that didn't have as long a setup time, and as much upkeep and rules clarification, so I just kind of stopped playing it.

Mage knight is my go to for solo other than SI. Pretty much anytime I have a spare 2 hours it hits the table.
