[QUOTE="SuperZero, post: 6771631, member: 6690219"] I love Pandemic. Haven't tried The Cure, yet. The In the Lab expansion for original Pandemic adds a solo mode... I haven't tried it, yet either. Really, with a co-op game that doesn't include secret information, you can make it a solo game just by playing two characters yourself. Mice & Mystics is a co-op rpg-ish adventure game supposedly for one to four players, but each chapter of the game dictates how many characters to play (and states that if you have more characters than players, some will just have to run an extra one or three). Therefore, I think I like it best as a solo game. A bit more to keep track of, but you don't have the "proper" number of players fluctuating by chapter if one person plays all three/four/six (yes, despite being "one to four players," there are three-character chapters) heroes. I've only ever played Arkham Horror solo, but I think I'd like it better as co-op... possibly including a solo player playing multiple characters. I think Elder Sign works a bit better, perhaps (same Lovecraftian horror theme and style, but they're not that similar in terms of gameplay). Legendary Encounters is a solo or co-op deckbuilding game (the original Legendary is less co-op but does include solo rules). I haven't played the newer Predator (I think?) version, but I like the Aliens version (and I've actually never seen any of those movies, so I have no attachment to the setting or characters). It has some quirks as a solo game, but it works okay. Actually, it has player elimination in a long-ish game when playing co-op, and I think that's kinda a flaw there. [/QUOTE]
