#2017 game list update

It's a fantastic group of friendly people, easily one of the most positive group of people I've ever had the pleasure of associating with on the internet. I'd strongly encourage everyone interested in solo gaming to visit and join the 1-Player Guild. The tie breakers this year went to Lowest Average Vote, # of votes, Highest Rank, Most #1 Votes then I just broke the tie and noted it. Many of us refer people to the list all year. It also serves as a great resource for people looking to get into solo play. I'm sure we'd all like to know what makes it one of your top games. I highly encourage people to add comments to the games as they're revealed. I'll also add some extras at the end, so expect a bit more after we get to #1.

#2017 game list update

Please check back or subscribe while I update this over the next couple of weeks to count down from 100 down to 1. So if you want to claim that the list is invalid for whatever reason, you're wrong! We're having fun. The bottom line to all of this is that we wanted to do it simply for the fun of it. So for example, all votes for Runebound (2nd or 3rd Ed.) were just called Runebound regardless of the version. The only exception to this is that I put all entries for a game under the latest version. We treated most standalone games as a single entry. There were a total of 8030 votes up from 6028 last year(not everyone had 20 games). We had 85 people participate the first year and this year it has swelled to 477!, producing a list of 813 unique games. Anything except strictly electronic variants like ios solo implementations that allow you to play the game in a way the physical game wouldn't honestly get played solo. It could be a true solo game, a co-op game, a multi-player game where you played multiple sides, print and play, official and unofficial variants. The only restriction we made was that the game had to be a physical game you enjoyed playing solo. People submitted up to 20 games ranked from 1-20.

(I was told it was mandatory to make this warning bigger). We apologize right up front for any damage to your wallets because of this list. It has been a lot of fun to vote and discover the list together. For the last three years the 1-Player Guild has run the People's Choice Top 100 Solo games.
