The Tabletop Games Thread Plays Alone (7/10/24)

Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

This week’s prompt: What do you do when you don’t have a gaming group, but you still have an itch to play tabletop games? Maybe you don’t know anyone else who’s interested in games, or everyone wants to a play a particular game that you just don’t like. Or maybe your group just fizzled out, or you’re simply the only person who can make it to a regular game night for some reason. One option might be to try out a solo game–anything from a quick game of Solitaire to a full RPG like Ironsworn. What are the best games to play all by yourself?

If you would like to suggest a prompt or contribute a write-up or discussion topic of your own, let me know in the comments!
