Favorite small-medium sized solo games?

3 years ago by Nolando to c/boardgames

I’ve been playing a number of solo games lately as my usual group seems to be doomed to never have aligned schedules these days. I’m currently in love with Arkham Horror LCG and the Wingspan Automata, but I also enjoy smaller games like Totem (solo mode) and One Deck Dungeon. What small-medium sized solo games do y’all enjoy?

My favorite solo game is Sprawlopolis (and its siblings Agropolis and Naturopolis, but OG remains the best). It is just 18 cards and I have played it over and over.
I enjoy the solo mode of Cascadia quite a bit, especially the various challenges.
Sagani works very well as a solo puzzle.
Depending on what qualifies as small, 51st State plays really fast as a solo and I've enjoyed all my plays quite a bit. I admit I haven't even played this multiplayer yet
Two games that do not themselves qualify as small but have much faster playing solo modes than multiplayer are Ark Nova and Revive. Love both of them.

Just bought Sprawlopolis based on your comment and am really looking forward to playing! It’ll be the first game I bought specifically to play solo.

Hope you are having fun with it :) I never travel without it. Sometimes I play a game with morning coffee or during lunchbreak. Those 18 different goals are enough for endless combinations.
