Hi all!

I LOVE board games but don’t have a lot of people to play with. What are some good games that are either solo only or are able to be played solo? Open to all suggestions!

    If you’re looking for a solo ttrpg, check out IronSworn for a semi-nordic low fantasy game that plays great solo. They recently released a sci-fi version called Star forged that’s worth a look if you prefer that genre.

    Some of my current favorites:

    • When I want something very easy to get into and relaxing: Orchard. Very quick setup, simple gameplay, focused on a single goal
    • When I want something a bit heavier but still pretty chill: For Northwood, a solo trick-taking game (how can that even work? It does!). Recent game, inexpensive, good replayability, great value.
    • When I want a nice comfy midweight euro: Newton is a great Italian-style euro that has a very smooth solo. Also online on Yucata.
    • When I want something heavier but still pleasant: Fields of Arle or A Feast for Odin, some of Uwe’s best. Arle is also online on Yucata, Feast is on BGA.
