List of Solo Games

I only see 2 games in the 'solo' category, Thermopyle and Dark Agent. But there are some games that could also be played by 1 player, like La Granja and Dungeon Roll (alpha). Are there any other games that could be played by 1 player only? Maybe those should be included in the 'solo' category too.

There is a limit on how many categories a game can be in, and mechanical and thematic categories generally take precedence.

You can search the game list by player count to find all games that allow creation of a table with 1 player, and thus have some kind of solo mode, of which there are currently 8, not including games in Alpha.

I was going to add Clans of Caledonia but I see that it is in the list that paramesis provided.

How do you start a game in solo mode? Caledonia I tried it in training mode per another forum post, but it won't let me start.

If you want to play solo, you have to open the table to other players then immediately start the game. I don't think the option to start the game appears unless you open the table to other players, even if you want to play solo.

I just looked at Room 25, and while the description said 1 to 6 players, it wouldn't let me do a 1 player game unless I was in training mode. And I can't figure out how to do that.

There’s a dropdown menu in the game options panel, where one of the options is labeled “Game mode”. Change it from “Normal mode” to “Training mode”

In addition to the 1 player versions of "regular" games, is there any chance that a priori solo games will be developed on BGA?

"Unconditional Surrender: WW II in Europe" can be added to the list of games that can be played solo.
