10 SOLO TABLETOP ADVENTURE GAMES TO HELP GET YOU THROUGH ISOLATION

Considering board games are seen by most as a social pursuit, it might surprise the uninitiated that playing them solo is a thing at all. But what they don’t understand is: we tabletop gamers are addicts.

Sure, fool yourself that solo gaming keeps your mind honed and is a worthy alternative to a good book, film or video game. But everyone knows you just can’t help yourself, and it beats the shame of begging for a hit.

“Oh, go on. Play a board game with me. It doesn’t have to be Twilight Imperium or Gloomhaven. It can be, erm… Carcassonne? Oh go on! Please! Catan?? I’ll play anything!! I’ll play… Monopoly!!”

You dirty bastard.

Best you get yourself down to your local fun-dealer for some mono-player action instead. Have some self-respect.

What’s more, with the forced isolation of a COVID-19 lock-down upon us, which often means confinement with non-gaming muggles , we have little other recourse than self-help. So a little adventuring escapism is just the thing to beat the quarantine blues.

Whether you’re in the mood for smog-choked London streets, a desert island, a haunted house, a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a trap-filled dungeon or even a cheese-filled belly, we’ve got you covered.
