FAQ: Best Games for 1 player

What makes a good game for 1 player?
The best 1-player games keep everyone involved with minimal downtime. We curate titles that scale well—party hits, strategy standouts, and co-ops that shine at this player count.
Do these games work with more or fewer players?
Many picks also play well outside 1 player. Check each product’s recommended range (e.g., “3–7 players” or “2–8 players”).
Party games or strategy games?
Both. You’ll find lively party titles and thinky strategy games that still run smoothly with 1 player.
Can I pick these up in-store?
Yes—most items are available for in-store pickup at checkout. Visit our Downtown San Diego shop for recommendations or join a game night to try something new.
