Play a Solo Puzzle.

Tonight is about you and a game system. A solo board game or a cooperative game played solo lets you lose yourself in a satisfying puzzle at your own pace — no negotiation, no waiting, no explaining the rules for the fourth time. Pour a drink, set up the board, and disappear into a problem that rewards patience and punishes carelessness. The best kind of alone time.
