Top Solo Board Games 2025 – PickMyBG Global Rankings

Discover the best solo board games of 2025, ranked by real player data. The PickMyBG Global Rankings are built from thousands of user-submitted Top 20 lists, showing which titles appear most often among solo players’ favorites. It’s a living, community-powered snapshot of what solo gamers love right now — automatically updated as new players join and share their picks.

Unlike curated or static lists, PickMyBG’s rankings evolve continuously, offering a dynamic view of solo gaming trends throughout the year. Each entry reflects broad popularity rather than individual ranking, highlighting games that resonate with a wide range of players.

(Side note: This approach complements the excellent People’s Choice Top Solo Games on BoardGameGeek, which compiles an annual, rank-based list. While the People’s Choice weighs each game by its specific position within a player’s Top 20, PickMyBG simply counts how often a title appears across all lists — revealing the most frequently loved solo games, regardless of rank. In short, PickMyBG offers a different lens: live, frequency-based, and always up to date.)

Whether you’re exploring your first solo adventure or looking for your next challenge, this list showcases the community’s most played and most loved solo board games — updated daily.

This list shows the global solo board game rankings based on all PickMyBG users. On top of that, the table also reveals how people responded to the personalized recommendations — showing which games players said they added on their radar, already like, aren’t for them, or weren’t sure about. If you want a personalized ranking based on how closely your tastes match those of other players, try PickMyBG’s recommendation engine.
