Solo Games

Sometimes you feel like playing a game but no one is available (or willing) to join in your fun. That's how I discovered solo games. There are so many solo games being published now, as playing solo has become quite popular. Ranging from very light, chill games to heavy, stress inducing ones. Even many multi-player games include a solo variant in their rulebook.
A 9 card solitaire game. I love to keep this one in my bag to pull out on my lunch break. Three games in the series: Orchard, Grove and Forage. I currently only own Grove but I'm anxious to rectify that.

A GENTLE RAIN
A beautiful, simple tile laying puzzle. Chill, relaxing, (mostly) brain off activity. A favorite for this reason.
Called a "relaxing roll and write experience". The perfect chill activity to pull out and enjoy while watching tv or listening to an audiobook.
A solo or cooperative dungeon crawler card dice game. A challenging game experience without being heavy on rules. Great components and artwork. For added fire, get the official playmat. Looking forward to diving into this series more.
I am admittedly terrible at this game but I do appreciate the challenge. I may never win but that's okay. Love all the colored dice and great artwork. (Many different variations in this 20 Strong series to explore.)

BUTTONSHY
Food Chain Island
Numbsters
A Nice Cuppa
Naturopolis
These are some of my personal favorites but they have an extensive line of solo games. They often go in and out of print so grab them when available.
Where's Waldo meets murder mystery. It's a giant map that you can even color as you go. The four different games can combine to make one enormous map for even bigger fun in All In.
Work your way through the Hobbit story with this roll and write adventure. Choose to complete a chapter or two at a time or press onward. Can be solo or multiplayer with each person having their own dry erase board.
The classic. We often take this one along to restaurants and pass it around trying to have the best score.

COFFEE ROASTER
Can you brew the perfect cup of coffee? Love Saashi and Saashi designed games. They're not always the easiest to obtain since they are out of Japan. But worth the hunt.
Scout and map new territories but beware of monsters lurking. Different scoring conditions each game. Endless replayability. It's an excellent solo flip and write game and equally great multiplayer.

COME SAIL AWAY
This one was love at first sight and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! Another Saashi and Saashi.
Very puzzly, thinky, tile layer. Looks like such a chill game but my brain's too involved for this to be relaxing. One of my favorites.

FLIP PICK TOWERS
I have yet to get my own copy of this but it is high on my list at Gen Con this year. (Which is why I'm sharing it with you) Illustrating magical castles with towers, banners, dragons and more...
