There will inevitably be times that you don’t have your board game crew around, but why should that stop you from continuing to enjoy and hone your skills with board games that you love? There are so many great options for solo board games to choose from, with the possibility to try out exciting new games made specifically for solo board game play. But you can also try playing some of your favourite board games in solo mode to have a whole new experience of a game you’ve previously enjoyed with friends. In solo mode, you can try out the challenge and strategy with some slightly different rules and game play, or by playing against an artificial opponent within the game.
The best solo board games offer a good diversion for times when you find yourself with time to play a game but no one to play with - perhaps while travelling, a quiet evening at home, or during lockdown.

Ss a time agent, you have the option to embody different beings from different worlds to embark on adventures through time and multiple realities, with the goal of saving humanity from threats to the very fabric of the universe. Starting at home base you receive your mission briefing and must set off explore the various locations via the game cards. Some cards are only accessible by using the correct items, others offer clues and surprises, and some test your skills in solving riddles or facing off against enemies.
