Hi all!

I LOVE board games but don't have a lot of people to play with. What are some good games that are either solo only or are able to be played solo? Open to all suggestions!

Warp's Edge is fantastic! Im not really into solo boardgames (for my time I'd rather let a video game do setup for me), but I still play a round of Warp's every month or two. I think it does a great job of feeling like a game rather than an upkeep simulator, games (including setup) are like 20 mins, and there's always new ideas to try, new ships to pilot, or new bosses to face.

On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, Mage Knight is rightly known as the solo board game titan. The rules are intricate, and a game will take hours and hours, but in return you get an incredibly in-depth and challenging game, that feels like you're in control rather than at the whims of RNG. Gets even better with the Xpac that adds the enemy general as a boss
