Eight Solo Miniature Wargames You Should Try! 

YES!!!! SOLO GAMES!!!! Solo modes are like an insurance policy. If your friends hate it, you can STILL get your money and time's worth. I've bought so many of these because I know I can play them long after everyone else moves on (and I live in a country where pretty much everyone only plays Legion, 40k, and maybe some AoS). I do not why more designers make these.

Great list! Other notable solo games are the offerings by Snarling Badger Studios. Their first game, Reign in Hell, only had solo play tacked on as an afterthought, but their other games have had solo and multiplayer in mind from the ground up.

thanks for covering some of these. I know your not capturing everything, but i am going to list great games i think you missed. I would say that Elder Scrolls has Solo options as a "mode", i don't believe its a dedicated solo game. I could list about 10 more, but the below are really great games (look at games from: Snarling Badger, Black Site Studios, the "28M" Games and Patrick Todoroff they are creators of a lot of solo miniature skirmish games). 1) Fear The Dark: Excellent Mythos style Solo Game 2) Sellswords and Spellslingers: Fantasy solo (I like it more than ROSD). 3) Space Station Zero: Solo Sci-Fi Spaceship exploration (Snarling Badger Games). 4) County Road Z: Zombie Solo (picked up by Modiphius). 5) Hametsu: Solo Japanese Monster Hunting (Black Site Studios). 6) Nightwatch: Fantasy Solo. 7) Blood in Space & Blood on the Blade: Sci-fi & Fantasy Games. 8) Chrome Hammer Ascension: Cyberpunk Solo. 9) Exploit Zero: Cyberpunk Solo. 10) DAK Attack: Much better than Nuts. Spec Ops North Africa game. 11) Dont Look Back: 80s Slasher Movie Solo Game (Blacksite Studios). 12) Horizon Wars: Zero Dark: Sci-Fi Solo. 13) The Doomed! Solo Kitbash Game. 14) Farthest Star: Solo Sci-Fi. 15) Perilous Tales: Solo Pulp. (this game is Free from the "Gaslands" creator.)

Just as idea for anyone who is interested about solo miniature games, but do not have (all?) needed miniatures: You can just have bases, add text like "error: graphics not found" and "ranger" and arrow to point direction where the character is facing. And maybe later buy and/or paint the miniatures (except if you are totally fine with this kind of way to play).

The add-on of zona alfa (which has allready a solomode) contains much new stuff for a solo-gamer. It is called "kontraband".

I would love it if you took a look at a few of my games from Four-Color Studios. Great list! Love the Five series!

worth mentioning is Nuts! is but one of many games made by Two Hour Wargames on the same core ruleset - they have lots of games like this, in various flavours and styles.

Great list. I've put Mutant Year Zero in my cart at least a dozen times. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'd also add The Silver Bayonet to the list.

The solo aspect brought me to opr. It is almost impossible to find a Warhammer fantasy game where I live

A cool solo/co-op game called "when nightmares come" exists. Needs just a few miniatures, a 2x2 playing area and two sets of rpg-dice.

Great work on these videos. Could you please add links in the description (maybe edit previous ones) to publisher/reseller/main website for each game. That would add a lot of value and help when looking for a particular games when showing your vids to others people. Thanks

I recommend The Doomed. Brutal solo play, can be pvp, or even pvpve/coop. Easy, minimalist rules, and a *ton* of monsters to fight, with good AI rules.

I would've liked to know a bit more about what the games are about, tbh. It's nice to know that they're good, but i still know nothing aboit the games per se. Why does #8 need so many miniatures? Why are there 3 different games bundled up, are they the same, just different lore? Otherwise, links eould've helped with answering those questions too

I've been looking for a solo wargames (ideally miniatures) that can you can fit and play on your work desk. 2'x2' max, but also fitting most cards or other things you need on the table. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them!

Had some of the two hour wargames books forever but never played them. They look super "automated" if that makes sense, as in the player has very little input as to what happens.

The Five Series is a solid bet for certain. Another great solo game from Nordic Weasel Games is Weasel-Tech; a solo fast paced mecha experience whose procedural generarion is very anime themed. Currently also available on Wargame Vault but the IP was purchssed by Modiphius and will likely be relesead under a new name.

How about Deth Wizards? I bought a book but haven't have chance to play yet

Bear in mind that in the 'Five' series, 'Five Leagues From the Borderlands' and 'Five Parsecs From Home' are originals from Modiphius, 'Five Clicks From The Zone', while based on Modiphius' system, is from Nordic Weasel Games. Another reason to shop for Wargames Atlantic minis is the wide range of customisation options in the box. For a squad of 10 for example, instead of 10 bodies, 10 heads, 10 pairs of arms, etc; you get a good number of surplus arms and heads to give you more variety (handy if you're army building) plus plenty of fodder left over to fill your bits box 😎👍

I Second Snarling Badger.!! Mini agnostic and just fun!

Timestamps would be good

If you wanna put more emphasis that this is not a tiered/ranked list, then consider using "Option A, Option B, etc" instead of #8 to #1.
