Last year, we partnered with Beyond Solitaire to launch a short survey about your solo wargaming preferences. Our grandiose plan was to make this an annual event, which would allow us to look at the changes over time, as well as capture new games entering the marketplace. It would also allow to see if those new games were a “flash in the pan” or had actual long-haul staying power.
If you’re interested in last year’s results, you can find them here.
How We Ran This Survey1
We use a Google Form to capture the results, and shared it across a wide variety of wargaming sources (BGG, CSW, our own sites & social media channels, groups on FB and Reddit, discussed on YouTube shows, and through targeted emails) to recruit participants. Total number of valid2 entries we had was 222; last year was 256.
We asked respondents to give us their top 5 favorite solo / solitaire games, and to give us the URL to the specific entry on BoardGameGeek, so that we wouldn’t have to parse through which edition of the game, or separate which game in a series, or which typo’ed title of three similar games the respondent intended to give us.
Pasting in URLs from BGG is not the most elegant way to collect this information, but right now we don’t have a good way to connect to BoardGameGeek’s API to allow for the same sort of type-ahead feature they use on their site, and we need a good way to keep data consistent across varying editions of games, different publishers reusing the same game titles, typos in game titles, etc.
We asked a couple of optional questions about preferred type of content, frequency of play, and how long people had been playing. A notable change from last year was asking specifically about their frequency of solo gameplay.
As noted last year,:
- We intentionally chose to describe this as “solo/solitaire” as we wanted people to include any game they enjoy playing on their own, whether it was purpose-designed as a solo game, a broader game with a dedicated solitaire mode, or a truly multi-player game that you’re either playing multi-handed or have adapted to solo play.
- We described this as a “wargaming and historical gaming” survey because we specifically wanted to avoid trying to screen certain games in/out based on some ever-arguable never-agreed-upon definition of “wargame”. So Twilight Struggle and Gandhi are in, but maybe not Carcassonne or Ticket to Ride even with their historical themes.
Games were scored on a descending 5-4-3-2-1 scale, so if someone voted the game in first place, it got 5 points and second place got 4, and so on down.
For games with identical Sum scores, we then looked at the Average value of their votes. In the event that the Average was also identical, we then sorted by Count, and finally, Title. That level of sorting really only appears way at the end of the table where many, many games all earned an identical single vote in the same 1-thu-5 place.
Results

Column Headers:
- Rank: where the game placed in the overall list; note that we did not manually enter identical numbers for games with identical placement
- Count: total number of votes for that game
- Sum: total value of the votes for that game (see below)
- Average: Sum divided by Count – the average value of the votes received for that game
- Diff / ’23: The difference between the game’s ranking this year, and in 2023, either +/- or “new”3
We’re providing you both the aggregate score for the games once we’ve added all scores together, as well as the average score for each game4. We’ve also included the total count of the number of times each game was mentioned anywhere in the survey. This is a long table that’s paginated across multiple screens, but it is sortable by clicking on the headers.
Descriptive Stats
We did ask some basic information about our respondents. Note that while we had 222 total respondents to the survey, these were optional questions, so the total numbers of replies may not equal 222.
Last year, we noted that “more than 25 years” was insufficient, and we really needed a higher category. 25 years really just gets us back to the late 90s, and doesn’t sufficiently separate out the gamers that started in the 70s/80s (or earlier), especially since most of them started before digital wargaming was commonplace.
Surveys with wider distribution tend to attract respondents with more diverse gaming backgrounds, so we were curious how far beyond wargaming our respondents ventured, if at all. Over 1/3 of the sample are playing wargames at least 75% of the time, and over 40% of the sample are playing wargames less than half of the time.
Digital tools are not as common for our sample. Over 75% of the respondents are eschewing virtual game tables for the real thing most/all of the time.
We’re always interested in where the audience learns about the survey. Echoing what James Buckley found in his survey about wargaming news sources, BGG ran away with this. The low counts on references from Facebook could be primarily due to a couple of overzealous group moderators that killed our posts announcing the survey and recruiting participants. Apparently one must spend their daily lives in those Facebook groups for the moderators to accept that you might have content of interest to their audiences. You don’t even want to know about the hostility of the community moderators over at Reddit.
Our upcoming articles will also include a deeper data dive into how the ranking change based on how long you’ve been playing, and also by how much you’re playing wargames vs other games, as well as some more detailed looks at the list itself.
If you’d like to do your own deep dive into the data, please reach out to Brant or Liz and we can get you the necessary info for you to play with the stats on your own.

Footnotes
- For those of you with a social science research background, think of this as the “methods” section of the paper
- we had a few entries we removed because they put the exact same game in all 5 spots
- this does not necessarily mean it is a newly released game, but rather a new appearance on the rankings
- note that these are heavily-skewed toward games that only received a single first-place vote and we recommend only analyzing games with at least 3 votes when looking at averages
I voted and enjoyed the survey result video, but I really think you need to drop the BGG URL requirement next year. It was such a pain I believe it’s costing you a lot of votes.
We would LOVE to drop that necessity!
Do you happen to know anyone that can hook into the BGG API to create a type-ahead list in a Google form so we can keep all the inputs consistent?!
