Solo Gaming

Solo Gaming

As we all know there has been very little chance of playing any form of social gaming during the last few years and I really needed to scratch that gaming itch again.

So over the last couple of weeks I’ve got my PS4 back out of storage (still not played anything yet) and bought a few solo mode board games.

My main criteria for these right now is that they have to be small box games with a built-in solo mode or co-op that can be played solo, can’t be bothered searching out fan-made solo modes for games yet.

The first three I’ve got are Friday, Lux Aeterna, and One Deck Dungeon: Forest of Shadows due to this small box restriction, and due to the fact I got great deals on eBay for them, but since the first draft of this post I’ve added a few more.

I’m watching some playthroughs right now and really want to start with One Deck Dungeon, so watch out for updates on that.

I may also be able to have a 10 for 10 challenge in 2025 after setting up this area of the blog to my satisfaction (😂)

The complete list of what I want is here and will be updated as I get the game or find another I fancy and it may become a bit more refined but this will do to begin with. For a start I know there are some solo RPGs on this list and I think I’ll make a separate post for those.
