"But does it have a solo mode?" Christina and Shoe usually have no idea! But with the increase of single-player games and modes in modern board games, they turned to the expert, Jeremy Howard of Man vs. Meeple. We noticed a spike in one-person gaming over the pandemic, but is it here to stay? Jeremy makes some recommendations like he owns a solo board game store, and we all ponder what why we still need multiplayer.
