solo gaming or solo rules variants

edited February 2013 in General
As I can't bet to the club twice a week as much as I like due to work commitments. I find myself having some down time when I want to do some gaming so I am looking for recommendations on good solo games to pick up, in particular solo versions of table top gaming rules for me to mess about with?

  • My goto solo play games are things like the Ravenloft board game, which is like Hero quest but can be played alone as there's no GM - the enemy have a set of clearly defined actions that don't alter regardless of the number of players. Example :

    monster will move and attack the nearest visible player, if no player is visible or in range then monster will advance towards the nearest player.

    There's a host of games with this kind of gameplay - John at space myth might be able to help and as always Google is your friend.

    Upon saying that - there's a lot to be said for sitting around with 2 small armies for your chosen tabletop wargame and having mock battles on your own to help nail the rules. Sure it seems a bit sad but we're geeks, we do lots of stuff people consider sad :)
  • Let us know when your down time is. James and John both have tables at their shops, I'm sure I could get down there now and then.
  • Indeed :) Tables are free to use, 6 days a week. (Mondays, It will cost you £20, because I'm not open, and thats my fee for sitting about looking grumpy while you play a game :P)

    I also open late on wednesdays and fridays.
  • cheers for the advice, my down time just after work in the evenings when I have an hour or 2 to mess about with a bit of gaming so not sure if its suitable to drag folk out for that amount of time?
    I am getting inot the fantasy setting thanks to chris so am downloading free fantasy rules off the net and trying to have a solo mock battle.
    Battlecry fantasy and fantasy warriors are my current trials.
    However would line to get down to space myth and give their tables a whirl at some point
