The 3 best solo board games for iOS and Android

Sure, board games might be all about getting some friends together, either in the real world or online, but that doesn't mean there aren't some offerings out there that are huge amounts of fun to play on your own.

With that in mind, here's a round up of the best solo board games for iOS and Android. Proof that you don't really need to have any friends to have a jolly old time.

We really like all of the games that Tinytouchtales has made, but I think this is probably the best of the bunch. Essentially you're working your way through a deck of cards, trying to loot as much as you can, and get to the end without dying.

If you like what you see, then it's definitely worth checking out Card Crawl and Miracle Merchant as well, but this is the one you should be starting with.

You're a lone survivor in a world overrun by weird zombie vampire mutant things. You and your trusty chainsaw have just one hour to save the world. Or more likely, one hour to get utterly slaughtered.

This is a tough game, and no mistake, but it's also a lot of fun. If you've got the patience you're going to find a really enthralling game here.

Based on the classic game book series, this takes the concept of those legendary adventures and then shakes them up into a one-player board game. There's dice rolls, combat, and plenty of decisions to make.

If you're a fan of FF then there's a lot to like here, and if reading gets you down then the shiny presentation and more action-orientated experience is likely to strike more of a chord for you.
