Thank you for this list. One of your previous lists helped me decide to get into board games, with solo modes an essential aspect, this past few months. I already have four from your top 10, yes Wingspan has beautiful artwork, but it has given me food for thought about the others in the list. I just need to stop buying and start playing more! Thank you for your hard work in these videos.
Glad I could help and glad you’re enjoying board games so far! I agree that you can have too many games, so sometimes a small collection of games you get to play a lot really is the best!
Yes. Sorry. I'm answering your first question. Aside, love most of these games, but didn't realize that these all had a 1 player mode. Appreciate the video. Subbed!
Haha, Marvel Champions IS DANGEROUS! It's like a symbiot that will take all your money and all your gaming time! But jokes aside, it is a great game. Great list overall aswell. A lot of favorites of mine. Marvel Champions, Lost Ruins of Arnak & Heat are all great both solo and multiplayer. I love Everdell, but not so much in solo.. maybe I should give it another try.
Great video! I started off as a solo gamer, but now has a game group. Can you suggest games that have good solo modes, but can also be fun for multiplayer?
Thanks! I’ve found that honestly most games that you can play solo also work well for multiplayer! For a mixture of both, it can be good to look for games that have some good player interaction, so when you do bring it out with a group, you’re not playing “multiplayer solitaire” with everyone just kind of looking down at their own board. Hope that helps! I might also try to do some more research and maybe make a video on this in the future!
Spirit island digital makes it wayyy more approachable for folks new to it. Played a number of good solo games recently- Harvest and Raising Robots being two standouts. Wingspan is a good prerequisite to Raising Robots but if you’re comfortable with that and looking for a little more of a challenge the Nauvoo games folks developed a VERY approachable rule book for it. Harvest is a great worker placement optimization puzzle with a solid solo mode!
I should try Spirit Island digitally. I just played Harvest on BGA the other day and liked it! I haven’t checked out Raising Robots yet, but have heard great things!
@ I play spirit island on my iPad and it takes care of so much of the admin that makes it much more approachable. Raising robots plays great solo and has a TON of replay value - worth seeking out.
Parks, Horrified, Sleeping Gods Distant Skies, Onirim, Trailblazers, Cthulhu Death May Die and something not so filler like Final Girl, Tapestry and Expeditions

Great topic for a solo gamer, keep it up. Thanks!

Thanks for watching!!
@@SpecificallySolo can't wait to watch more!
Great list! I’m going to go watch you other videos bc I like games that are 30 mins or less.
Thanks for watching! I really enjoy short games too, especially when you maybe only have 20-30 minutes to play!

Marvel Champions can become the only game you play for sure haha. Everdell I’ve always liked the base game solo, but the expansion really adds to it!

Dune imperium hands down 😉
@@SpecificallySolo thanks :)
@@soloflo nice! I just bought uprising and the gameplay does look challenging and fun. Can't wait to personally find out 😀

Those are all good choices! I’ve played a lot of those! I actually just ordered Expeditions, excited to check it out.
