Well, it must have been literally weeks since I last posted one of these...  :D

I wonder if the fine people here can suggest a game. Ideally, I am looking for a tactical/strategic battle card game, which will handle solo play and doesnt require huge numbers of new packs to be bought.

A long shot, I know.

Think something like Magic, or the 40K CCG for solo play. Does these types of game exist? It seems that this would be great for throwing into a bag for long weekends, etc.

Thanks.

Just in case anyone was following this, I came back to it and did a search through the first 300 card games on Board Game Geek.  :confuse:

Some suggestions for those also seeking a solo card game (in order of what seems to me the 'best'):
- Pocket CIV (home rules with a pack of cards)
- Chrononauts
- Middle Earth CCG (out of production)
- Early American Chrononauts
- Wings of War: Burning Drachens

Let me know if anyone follows these up.

Solitaire.

But...

Played blind folded!

And when you move a card up you have to wizz it into a 1st edition plastic space hulk terminator!

(The level of detail there may actually give a clue to what we as callow youths used for bb gun targets.)

That is the problem. My organiser thing has solitaire on it... and I have now played it to death and I am fed up with it. Still, 'solitaire' is the answer that I most commonly get in shops too!  :laugh:

I have gone with Middle Earth (found a site to buy some packs) and Chrononauts. I will you guys know what I think when they arrive.

I actually have middle earth CCG but have never tried solo play, its good two player though.  I have given up on CCG's, my favorite was Vampire: the Eternal Struggle (which was known as Jyhad when if first came out) but the game really only comes into its greatest strength when you have 4-5 players.  Now that I live in an isolated country town my cards are just sitting around neglected.

Pretty much why I am looking for a solo play set. My opponents are too precious to lay anything except a 'real' wargame!  :p
