It is not the only one, but a good example is Agricola, the masterpiece of Uwe Rosenberg.

The infamous Brettspielwelt

Not only you have not added important new features , but their client based on Java, it is anchored in version 1.6. It is impossible to use it without going back to a version of Java considered a security risk for your system end, and therefore only recommended for fans of unnecessary dangers.

Adaptations to apps

Many games have been adapted for mobile and tablets, so your favorite game may be available. Here it is logical as there are good accommodations and very bad.Some allow you to play against an artificial intelligence, and other players against remote.

Solo rules for games that are not lonely

Do you prefer the feel and smell of printed paper? Are your games are gathering dust on the shelf because nobody is encouraged to play a game to that wonder, for you of course underrated? Perhaps no company can play your person but not a loner, because there are many brains designing variants of rules for converting into solitary games that were not designed as such.

We will not make a list of all available variants. First because it would be extremely long, and secondly because there are dozens of ready – made lists. In Board Game Geek you have cubes, piles, shoveling this kind of house rules.

What are these changes? It depends on the game. In cooperative it is simpler because the structure of the game lends itself to it, and changes in the rules tend to be focused on balancing the chances of success without the help of other players.

There are very simple, and so complex that they do is create a kind of artificial intelligence from rules and dice, like this to the War of the Ring.

In competitive games, the imagination of the players leads to real wonders. For example, for 7 Wonders is a variant that adds a given item. You face several imaginary opponents in the choice of cards to play is conditioned by the outcome of the roll.

There is a similar option available for Descent as well as a version that makes a cooperative without a master that controls the monsters.

The options come to change most of the rules, creating a new game from its components. An example of this is Carcassonne, for which there is a variant in which you have to build five ways and five castles, using the least possible amount of tiles and leaving the meeples in the box. Roads and castles also must be created in ascending order (first of two tiles, then three, and so on ).

Not all games can become loners, but as you see the options we have are varied.

We hope that with all these variants and sites that you have presented the company have no longer a problem to catch an afternoon of games.
