One of the things that caused me to put the Imperium boxes on my birthday list was the promise of a robust solo play system – and David Turczi (who is specifically credited on the cover of the solo play rulebook) delivered.Įach civilization has its own AI set of tables. Want more detail? I wrote an extensive review for the OG this summer! My birthday this June was filled with goodness from Osprey Games… including my favorite new game of 2021. Imperium: Classics/Legends (16 plays – approx. (Note: this is not necessarily how much I like a particular game for solo play – for example, I think Roll Player is a brilliant design but I have only played it two times this year.) The Ten Solo Games I’ve Played the Most Times in 2021 So, what follows are my thoughts on a variety of solo games I’ve played during 2021 – ordered by number of times I’ve played them. (Example: I’m enjoying the Maracaibo iOS app a lot right now – but “seeing” the game status is really tricky between the various sideboards which I have to remember to access and check.) This is true, BTW, for solo or multi-player play. One of the delights of a physical game is that the whole thing is spread out across the table where you can soak in whatever details you need.

But there’s something really satisfying about physically playing a game: shuffling cards, moving pieces, seeing it all spread out in front of you. I know, I know – there are plenty of board game apps on iOS and Steam… and I own many of them. I’ll repeat my same caveat as each previous report: For comparison, the yearly total for 2020 was 19% and for 2019 was 6%. What you’re reading is the third (and final) solo gaming post of this new year – the previous 8 month review is available at the Opinionated Gamers link in the paragraph above!Īnd even though I have (since being vaccinated) been out playing games with friends, there’s still been a LOT more solo gameplay over the past year – 33% of my gaming was solo. …so I decided that I’d continue that trend into 2021 by doing a solo gaming post every four months. I’ve written a good bit about my solo gaming over the last couple of years, both for the Opinionated Gamers and for my personal blog…
