Games You Can Play Alone: Time-Killing Games Roundup (11–20)
Terraforming Mars
It’s a game about making Mars habitable for humanity.
Raise the three meters—temperature, oxygen level, and ocean coverage—to their maximum to clear the game! Each corporation contracted to develop Mars has its own traits and abilities, so strategies and approaches for achieving better results differ by company.
That makes it a game you can enjoy replaying over and over.
Dorasle: Solo Journey
“Drasle” was originally a board game designed for multiple players, but Solo Journey is a card game made specifically for solo play.
Become a hunter and slay monstrous beasts.
There are scenarios, so it’s easy for beginners to get into.
However, once you clear it, you’ll know the strategy the next time, so it might not be ideal for those who want to enjoy it over and over.
Blade Rondo
Brave Blonde is originally a competitive card game, but the official rules also include a solo play mode.
Using cards and dice, the winner is the one who reduces the opponent’s life to 0 first! The rules and hand management are intricate, so it’s recommended for people who want to dive deep into the game’s world.
It features a fantastical setting and the artwork is adorable, too.
Last Cloudia
Commonly known by the nickname “LasCla,” Last Cloudia is a smartphone RPG that’s even been featured in TV commercials.
Its fantasy world is richly crafted, and once you start playing, it’s easy to get hooked.
With plenty of growth elements like leveling up and ability unlocks, it’s highly recommended for anyone who wants a game to dive into for the long haul!
Fill
This is a puzzle game where you fill in all the squares with a single stroke.
Cover every square in one continuous line so there are no overlaps or gaps.
You’ll need to think hard before tracing the path, making it great brain training.
It’s available as an app, so it’s perfect for killing time, like while waiting for the train.
Toon Blast
Toon Blast is a puzzle app game.
Characters with a Western-style illustration guide you through it.
There are over 2,000 confirmed levels—plenty to dig into! As you progress, the activation rules for items get more complex and the difficulty ramps up, which really fires you up.

GeoGuessr
It’s a world-exploration location-guessing game that uses Google Street View.
Players are dropped at a random spot somewhere on the globe and, using the surrounding scenery as clues, try to guess where they are by pinpointing the location on a map.
It’s simple yet surprisingly deep, and as you infer from cityscapes, signs, climate, and more, you naturally pick up geographic knowledge.
One of its charms is that by observing unfamiliar countries and streets, you can feel like you’re traveling the world.
This site lets you explore the globe in a game-like way, making it a perfect pastime for geography enthusiasts and anyone who wants to enjoy a bit of virtual travel.
