1 player games?

[Lovemusic33]

A bit of a odd one. Dd2 has ASD and will not play a board game with dd1 and I but likes board games (playing with the bits on her own), she loves puzzle solving, maths, scrabble etc..

Is there such thing as a 1 player board game, something similar to rush hour or a maths/strategy game? She has loads of puzzles and a rubix cube.

Also looking for a 2 played board game for dd1 and I to play (she’s 16)? Most games seem to work better with 3 or more players and end too quickly with just 2. Any ideas?

Genius Square
My 9yo likes playing Labyrinth by herself.

Pandemic (well, my children often play by themselves!!)
Friday

There are at least two threads running atm about two-player games.

Also, have you considered something along the lines of a Perplexus?

Thank you, I had been looking at labyrinth, she has game of life that she plays by herself 🤣

Thank you, I will go and look at all the suggestions.

Rush hour

@mummyof2boys30

Rush hour

I have that on my list 😁 mainly for me.

Forbidden island and it’s a great game

Solo print and play games - often available free!

Also thinkfun do more than just RushHour - lots of different puzzle options, "Invasion of the cow snatchers", "Gravity maze", "Chocolate Fix", "Code Master" etc etc

Does she know how to play Solitaire?

A Turing tumble for DD2

Carcassonne for you and DD1

Screwball Scramble and Screwball Scramble 2.

Thank you, these look fab, so many to chose from.

Look at all the Think Fun games - Rush Hour is the most famous but they have lots of other ones. I've ordered Laser Maze one for my only child - he'll love it especially as its a real laser.

Mine are 10 and 8 so do the easier rush hour ones. Quite like it myself lol

Have you seen the ones from Smart Games - such as IQ Link?

Thank you, thinkfun games look perfect and the IQ link games. Just can’t decide which one to go for 😂

Any of the Smart Games games are good. My 9yo really enjoys Hop In, and I enjoyed playing it after she went to bed.

Boggle

Solitaire with marbles or with cards

*Sorry, just realised the game is Jump In, not Hop In.

DD has some of the Smart games. Her fave is the penguin one which is a logic puzzle.

Not a game but Gravitrax is fun.

Screwball scramble is a one player one if you wanted it to be.

We have two of the IQ games and the one that can be 3D is much, much preferred over the flat noughts and crosses one.

We have solitaire which she got frustrated with, have ordered her the thinkfun colour cube sudoku as she loves sudoku and rubix cube.

She’s getting gravitrax from her dad which I know she will love x
