Today, we are going solo, solo game that is! Or I should say solo games as we are releasing not one, but 2 games! Solar Sentinels and Tanglewoods Red are both part of the 20 Strong family sharing a common core system but offering a very different experience.
 
Solar Sentinels - The Last Hope for the Galaxy.
Earth is on the edge of extinction, and you are its last line of defense. The alien Horde is waiting, and only a "Solar Sentinel", that’s you, can stop the invasion.
 
Your mission seems simple, but the stakes are high!
 
You must face the danger and fight your enemies, willingly or not, as some enemies will force you into battle. Use your pool of dice to deal damage but beware: energy is scarce and if you run out of dice, or health, humanity fails with you. Defeat enemies until the Boss emerges. Kill it to win the war or die trying…
 
Are you ready to save Earth?

Tanglewoods Red – Mean Red Riding Hood
The ancient forest is dark and perilous! The path is twisting, and the Big Bad Wolf is waiting. You are on a desperate journey through the Tanglewoods to reach Grandma’s Cabin. Wait, that sounds oddly familiar…
 
You have 20 dice and a pocket full of gold. Use them to scout for the safety of day, or risk walking blindly into the deadly night as you move through the forest. When monsters block your way, pay them gold or strike. Whatever you decide, choose wisely: gold buys gear, but dice buy survival. But keep in mind that every wolf you defeat now is one less nightmare waiting for you at the end.
 
Will you be ready for the final showdown at Grandma’s house?

Our thanks go to Josh J. Carlson and Logan Giannini, the game designers, as well as the wicked people from Chip Theory Games for letting us add these games to BGA. And our gratitude goes to Kayvon and Mogri for the port to the platform.
 
This was your Monday release.
Two is better than one, especially when you’re playing solo. Take and play fair…

I'm working hard on Tanglewoods Red. Give me another day or two!

Is there a way to filter/search BGA games that have a solo mode? Thanks

Click on 'Games' at the top, and there are various filters. The first one is Player Count, and that has a Solo option you can select.

This is so great! Thank you all so much!! Really love having some great solo games on here, still feels nicer than just playing a random phone game ❤️❤️❤️
Do we think there's a chance of more 20 strong sets getting adapted?
