Howdy solo gamers! Glad to have you here for this post! If you’ve followed much of what I’ve written about in the part, you probably know I’m not a huge solo gamer. Partly because I live with my forever gaming partner, and since we work a very similar schedule and have very similar tastes, we usually play together, and partly because I’m very lazy and do not like to take the time to set up a game by myself and for only myself.
However, a whole bunch of the games that I own do have solo modes, so over the past few weeks, I’ve been trying some more of them out to see which ones I like best, and these solo modes hit the top of the charts! Plus, I haven’t done a list in quite some time, so I thought this would be a great one!
If you’re like me and haven’t really been able to get super into solo gaming in general, for whatever reasons, I think this list is a good place to start, if you’d like to try, because the games generally don’t have heavy rules, and they have pretty light or easy set up and clean up. The list also features various mechanics, because I’ve found that these are my favorites that do solo for their “thing” (i.e. roll & write, deck builder, etc.) Moreover, I lean toward solo games that have an objective you’re trying to reach (i.e. score X points within X rounds) or compare your score to a scale (to earn you a title) rather than just “record your score and try to do better next time!”
So if you’re interested in trying some games on your own, check these out, because they’re some of my favorites!
Happy Gaming~
