Top 10 Solo Play Board Games – 2012 Edition
Got some time to kill? Want to play a board game but there is no one to play with? Here is a list of games for you to try out. Some of the games on this list are co-ops or variants, official and fan-made. But if the solo experience is fun and worthwhile (and I have played it), I have considered it for this list. The honorable mentions lists games I have not played or that just didn’t quite make the cut.
Here are my top ten solo play board games:
10. World of Warcraft: the Board Game – It is a long solo game, but the fun aspects of leveling up and killing monsters is there. There are official and a couple fan-made variants that are enjoyable.
9. We Must Tell the Emperor – You play the Japanese after Pearl Harbor in this challenging game.
8. U-Boat Leader – A bit complex but fun. Especially if you like naval warfare or submarines.
7. Space Hulk: Death Angel – This card game is fun, tough and you will need some luck to win it solitaire.
6. Thunderstone or Thunderstone: Advance – This game is almost as fun solo as it is with a group. The official solo rules are a good time, and help you play better against your friends.
5. Field Commander: Rommel – You must lead the Axis troops against the Allied forces. This game is challenging, tense and fun.
4. Legions of Darkness – This is a solo tower defense type game. You must survive til twilight.
3. Sentinels of the Multiverse – This co-op plays great solo. Fantastic theme and a good bit of variety.
2. Defenders of the Realm – You’ll do better if you take a few heroes, but this is another cooperative game that really is a lot of fun solo. It is difficult but enjoyable.
1. The Lord of the Rings Card Game – I wish there was more deck-building included in the base set, but the mechanics and theme boost this card game to number one.
Honorable Mentions:
Agricola, Battle Star Galactica, Castle Panic, Dawn of the Zeds, Friday, Pizza Box Football, Wrath of Ashardalon
