I’ve been playing a number of solo games lately as my usual group seems to be doomed to never have aligned schedules these days. I’m currently in love with Arkham Horror LCG and the Wingspan Automata, but I also enjoy smaller games like Totem (solo mode) and One Deck Dungeon. What small-medium sized solo games do y’all enjoy?
- I love all the Buttonshy wallet games: Sprawlopolis, Rove, and Food Chain Island in particular are great.
- Maybe a bit on the heavier side, but I currently really enjoy Imperium: Classics/Imperium: Legends. They have a great solo mode and really scratch that deck building itch.
My smallest solos are probably Friday and a few Oniverse titles. I love Aerion and Nautilion the most, out of that series. I do enjoy Wingspan solo, been meaning to unbox the Oceania expansion, which I got because it apparently fixes the final round egg hoarding.
Coffee Roaster is fun and not big, also I’m a sucker for Cascadia - a couple of solo games back to back run to about 30-40 mins. Finally, been getting into Glass Road, which is pretty short.
I do end up loving Friday and it seems like it’s totally under everyone’s radar. It’s not revelutionary or anything, but it’s straight forward fun and for whatever reason I always end up tickled by how the gameplay and theme were integrated.
I am a fan of Cartographers. I printed and laminated some sheets so I can play and just wipe it clean for next time.
