Despite them being generally a homecoming, it will be difficult to play board games over the next few months because they tend to make people pass and interact with people. Unless, of course, you play one of these excellent board games.
In the last few years, many wide-ranging board games have seen the lil & # 39; boom pop up next to it: the growing appetite for individual game players, or at least the single-player multiplayer elements.
Once seen as a recluse domain, both designers and players have recently discovered that hey, once you get into the heat of setting up a game to play on your own, they can be fun (or, as I'm about to approx as fun) as the one you play with friends.
It's not like there is no precedent for this. Solitaire / Patience (and games like it) have been around forever, and if you really want to complicate things like phrases and sudoku it is a game on its own. The difference with most modern games is that you have to set up a lot of cards, tokens and miniatures to get them up and running, which can add to that, but also take a lot of time for something that only you will see and enjoy.
Which, to be honest, is usually something that stops me from playing (apologize). It often feels like a great job to get a board game to play on your own, pack and open and move pieces around and nobody else will see you there, huh, I just play a video game that can do all this for me.
And yet … video games are also very noisy and make me sit in my office or in my bed, and all I do is walk a mouse and keyboard around. Although it is amazing and there can be something refreshing about playing a board game on its own, something physical and soft and quiet you can't find in digital information.
So in the coming weeks and months, as we find ourselves completely trapped in our homes and frustrated in social networking, it might be best to watch board games and instead come out with the reality they support up to
Here, I think, the best of them. Or more importantly note, the best I've played. Some of the entries you'll find here were designed with solo playing and beyond, most of the best multiplayer games ever have and have excellent solo mode, and even though it's not great for a full experience, it still allows you to play alone and have more fun than you can, I don't know, clean up. your house or brain-worms on Twitter.
SCIENCE
Scythe is a great game to play with friends, but Stonemaier Games puts a lot of work into its own unknown status as well, and it's on display. Anyone who wants to return to this 1920s diesel concept solo will find their version of "Automata" to be a challenging and rewarding opponent, with a detailed graphics card that acts as an "AI".
Most of the time the AI desk will play more like a speedbump or block the road than a real competitor, but the Scytes often feel a clear trick, a testament to the fact that it's built. specifically by solo scholar Morten Monrad Pedersen.
The
Most of the alternatives on this list are great, but you can never give the impression that they are not as good as it can be played by friends. Fall otherwise.
It was fun to play Fall alone rather than with friends. OK with the boat, don't get me wrong, but there's something about tasting the only waste that makes it feel closer to the source material than bringing the others. The fact that the game is built with proper functionality on the desk of the story is helpful here, and the overall design of the game, especially its testing and combat, just works purely on its own.
V-COMMANDOS
Me love the game, and it sounds like it doesn't get as much attention as it deserves in its immediate context, so I'll call it here.
I usually play V-Commandos with friends, because as a person you encounter them differently it's different in its combination of planning and tactics, but it's all game design so you can play it on your own without changing a single thing. He just takes control of all the soldiers instead.
Which means you get it playing the same unexpected, satisfying game that brought me my greatest gaming board game ever, only you don't have to buy some chips and beer in it.
HERE IN THE WOMAN
This is My War is an amazingly honest rendition of a video game, which means that while it's designed to be played in public, with everyone controlling each character, you might like V-Commandos over-just play solo and control everyone.
This can work much better, depending on the strength of your board's board of staff, because one of the characters of the game, the leader, is pronounced in comparison to others, so for him and everyone under one player's wing it works well.
If after an experience such as a RPuelyy RPG instead of a game where the sides / players are blocking victory, this may be a good thing to look at.
TIME FUNDS: RUT OUTER
This, was a retrospective concept, is probably my favorite game of 2019. You have a wonderful sense of freedom in it, inspiring the same feelings you get by looking at a map on Skyrim, it's packed with many activities and many ways to do it.
He plays like a skier flying around Star wars & # 39; outer line, eliminating all kinds of equipment for different types of groups and groups of people. Without turning time or time off, you can totally play with your speed, taking any mission you feel you need at any time.
Except for Rim & # 39; s The Solo mode works on an AI deck, and although it's not like trying to overthrow your friends, limited player encounters don't make as much of a problem as they might otherwise.
DETAILS OF ACTION: SECOND RISK
This is another case of a superhero game by playing alone rather than looking for its own custom mode. just take control of everyone and you can fight hard your way through lovecraftian mysteries.
I love this game, perhaps its best of all the same FF styles of the barber, because it's solid and challenging without feeling harsh.
there are two configurations for this game, however, and you'll need a second one to do this, because it sets up an operating system with armies of darkness (the first system that requires a human opponent).
TREATMENT
Lost Expedition is fun, if it's a brutal card game by going deep into the forest and trying to get out quickly and get well. It's a very long-awaited game, where all the pieces of ammo, food and health can be the difference between life and death.
Better be prepared to enter, because you are going to die a too much.
I chose this game for a couple of reasons. One because it's a great challenge, something you can set aside in the afternoon to try and make the perfect way to finish your run. Twice because it's much simpler than the other games here, it needs a little bit more setup. And three because that's it beautiful.
SUPERHOT
Superhot was a great video game. And this is an excellent adaptation to it. It dissects the basic premise — the task with the strategy of movement — and turns that into a simple card game.
While designed for multiplayer, it's actually a trick in a video game when playing alone, as you work to overcome a series of challenges – a table, a man with a gun – and try to get past them using only savvy use of a small amount of action cards.
It's not a serious game on this list, but if you feel like playing FPS in the air without any pressure or sound, this is great.
GLOOMHAVEN
She's totally crazy / crazy. Gloomhaven, one of the tablet's greatest efforts in recent years, has been full-fledged and experienced groups of players, so anyone thinking of playing this on their own is definitely out of their minds.
Or … is it. These are new and unknown times in which we live. I've previously advised you about playing Gloomhaven solo because I thought you wouldn't find the time or space to do it. But, now, these are the only two things we have, so if it was to be done, now is the time.
SUBURBIA
Suburbia is similar to SimCity, because you have to first build a city, then build it. And it's not unusual, it's based on the sequencing of hexes, not the free allocation of locations.
It works better as a mini game for 2-3 players, and works much better with the app, but there's an eye-opening mode where you can challenge yourself to build a very good city. That is, when you think about it, it's all about getting out of city builders on a computer.
I wouldn't recommend getting this one for individual play, but it's a great game to have, and the solo mode just adds to that.
COUNCIL COURT: CODE OF MEN
I have saved probably the best for the last. This card game is so good, it manages to somehow turn a few curtains into an adventure as Tolkien's own Tickets themselves can come up with it. Gathering the heroes' medals to form Fsociation, you can go out and cover the whole saga if you want, and the first captains presented a challenge.
The Lord of Rings becomes more difficult over time, but playing solo — where you also take control of all the characters — is actually one of the easiest ways to play it, because you have the whole strategy. The fine line between success and death means that there is nothing to worry about in a standard cooperative game in this regard other than throwing a ball, but if you find yourself you must blame yourself.
With the extra desk luggage available outside of the main game, there are weeks if not more months of the game here.
And that's it! Remember, I said at the top that these were the best games I played. It's almost impossible to play as many board games as there are video games, so if there is any good I have left out, if it is enough for you it will convince me i can add it to the list!
