• I love all the Buttonshy wallet games: Sprawlopolis, Rove, and Food Chain Island in particular are great.
• Maybe a bit on the heavier side, but I currently really enjoy Imperium: Classics/Imperium: Legends. They have a great solo mode and really scratch that deck building itch.

I have recently discovered For Northwood. It’s a solo trick-taking game, it’s super fun and brilliant in its semplicity. As like before The Crew I didn’t think it was possible to create a collaborative briscola, I didn’t think it was possible to create a solo version of this genre of game before this.

I’ll second cascadia and the button shy games sprawlopolis and ROVE. I’ve also been enjoying the solo hidden movement game black sonata of late, and it’s a wonderful world as a engine/tableau builder

My smallest solos are probably Friday and a few Oniverse titles. I love Aerion and Nautilion the most, out of that series. I do enjoy Wingspan solo, been meaning to unbox the Oceania expansion, which I got because it apparently fixes the final round egg hoarding.

Coffee Roaster is fun and not big, also I’m a sucker for Cascadia - a couple of solo games back to back run to about 30-40 mins. Finally, been getting into Glass Road, which is pretty short.

I am a fan of Cartographers. I printed and laminated some sheets so I can play and just wipe it clean for next time.

• My favorite solo game is Sprawlopolis (and its siblings Agropolis and Naturopolis, but OG remains the best). It is just 18 cards and I have played it over and over.
• I enjoy the solo mode of Cascadia quite a bit, especially the various challenges.
• Sagani works very well as a solo puzzle.
• Depending on what qualifies as small, 51st State plays really fast as a solo and I’ve enjoyed all my plays quite a bit. I admit I haven’t even played this multiplayer yet
• Two games that do not themselves qualify as small but have much faster playing solo modes than multiplayer are Ark Nova and Revive. Love both of them.
