Thanks OP for the excellent post, the BGG link markup is very helpful!

Heat, Cat in the Box, and boop are my favorites I've played from this list. I didn't care for Endless Winter at all. Flamecraft was fine, but would only play it if someone really wanted to.

The only thing Flamecraft has going for me is the $40 SRP. Cheaper than Waterdeep, Stone Age and other worker placement games, and even a playmat bigger companies would try to sell you separately!

Its also been great as a cheaper entry to placement and resource gathering games.

But pretty bare bones aside from a clever solo video-game-unlockable design I'd like other board games to add to their solo games.

Wild that in some countries Cat in the Box is winning reprint awards, and I couldn't get my hands onto a copy local or import over here.

Ah well, this year at Spiel. Pegasus is releasing it. 😅

Where are you from, friend? My regular shop in Portugal seems to have it in stock. Check here

Germany, and trying to get it from various online stores (got nothing local) all resulted in them listing it as "We'll have it soon" before reducing it to "late 2023" some time last year as the only delivery that has made it here seems to have sold out.

Granted, as a German publisher had picked it up already (even though it's only coming out for Spiel 2023) I can see why there was 0 incentive for any store to order more copies from overseas.

She shop I linked you has it in stock. Shipping to Germany seems to be 6-10 euros.

I'm happy to see Coraquest on this list, it's a fabulous game for kids.
