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 PS5 back out of storage (still not really 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.
