In general, Tabletop Games are designed with at least two or three players in mind. Often there's no way to automate the physical base game, needing human players to make the decisions for each side. In the case of many Tabletop RPGs, a Game Master is required to fill the various roles that the players cannot, otherwise the story would be spoiled. But Solo Tabletop Games avert this — they can be played with just one player. So why would anyone play them alone? Well, some people could be living in a small town where few share their interest in tabletop gaming. Their schedules might not allow them to attend local tabletop gaming meetups. Some people want the interaction of games as opposed to watching TV or movies, but want to get away from screens. Others just want to be alone, though many probably just want to get the most use out of their purchases. Most hobby tabletop games cost at least $20 to $60, and some cost $100 or more. Whatever the reason, games can make this possible because of their mechanics: dice rolling and separate card decks that determine what sort of challenges or effects that occur. Others provide a solitaire variant, turning a game into a Self-Imposed Challenge. Another way is the game comes with a Tabletop Game A.I. — in this case, a set of actions and rules that trigger based on what card is drawn, roll results, or player decisions. There's plenty of Popular Game Variants by fans to allow their favorite games for solo play. To help narrow things down, examples listed as variants should be official. Not to be confused with tabletop games based on Solo: A Star Wars Story. Examples |

Terraforming Mars has rules for solo play, where instead of trying to have more points than your opponents when you collectively complete the terraforming process, you try to do the terraforming by yourself in a limited number of generations. | |

The Mythos CCG is based on the Cthulhu Mythos. There are solo rules in which events and threats are placed in a separate deck. When the player moves to a new location or passes a turn, the Threat deck activates. Here, the player must complete his Adventures before running out of Sanity points. | |

Sentinels of the Multiverse plays with this trope. It's meant to be played with anywhere from three to five people working together, but due to the fact that they're all on one side, there's nothing preventing anyone from simply playing every Hero by themselves. The Villain and Environment are designed to play by themselves, rather than having anything resembling a hand, cards are simply played off the top of Villain and Environment decks at their play phase and according to their rules. | |

In the official rules for the Pocket Edition of OGRE has this option: just have the titular supertank head straight for the objective and attack anything in range. All the player has to do is roll the dice for it. The official website also provides variants to decide the Ogre's actions - including using cards or dice rolls. | |

The Dungeon Masters Guide in the 1st Edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons had a random dungeon generator based on dice rolls with notes on how to use it for solo play - as long as the player had a little self-discipline to play any encountered monsters intelligently and keep his and his character's knowledge of traps etc. separate it was perfectly usable. | |

The original Traveller had a reputation of being well-suited to solo play, with players using the various subsystems to create characters, spaceships, and worlds and then using the trade system to try to make a fortune for their character. There were a few solo adventures published for the game as well. | |

Dwarfstar Games in the 1980's released two solo-only roleplaying games: Barbarian Prince and Star Smuggler. Using boards and various pieces to keep track of the player's progress and options, the games also used a paragraph booklet which detailed information on events and actions. However, this meant the player had to reference the booklet often. | |

Each deck has their own unique cards and is self-running with its own special rules. The player wins depending on if they fulfill the right conditions. | |

Solitaire with its many variants, using a deck of standard cards. The Klondike version is the best-known type of solo tabletop game, with many computer variants, including the famous version included with Microsoft Windows starting with version 3.0 in 1990.

Solo play is a main play mode of Ironsworn, where one person plays a lone hero in a perilous land. The game eschews the need for a gamemaster with oracle tables to roll on and solo principles, aspects that also are useful for guided play. Relately, Ironsworn: Starforged retains all of the solo support of its predecessor. |

Sylvion (of no relation to "Sylveon"), a combination deckbuilder/castle defense style game where the player has to organize woodland efforts to save the Sylvan forest's denizens from a menacing forest fire. Players draft their deck before trading turns with the game, trying to both extinguish encroaching flames and revitalize the forest that's been already burned. If the blaze becomes too much for the forest to recover after the enemy deck is depleted, it's game over. | |
