I can never play solo boardgames tbh. If I am going to play something solo, I can play something more complex on the PC. In fact, many of the most popular BGs have very good apps for themselves too. And if one wants to play something specifically boardgamey, things like Slay the Spire exist.

I ask because my son, near 12 years of age, has ADHD and ODD. Videogames have historically been a massive issue with him, and today doesn't play them. He does however love board games. However being he is a only child, he will play Chess/Clue/Yahtzee against himself often. I play when I can but I'm not always able to. He doesn't like drawing, painting or writing, so I lean into board games.

I've found a few solo board games, but nothing good

Was hoping to hear what else might be out there that people find enjoyable, as his birthday is soon.

I'll look up what Slay the Spire is

Also monster train 2,just came out.

For solo boardgames, it really depends on its age, but if old enough to play complex ones, there's some ones with almost infinite replayability. Spirit island, Dune Imperium, mage Knight, voidfall.
