I really enjoy tabletop games, particularly games that I can play solo: 1-player games, multiplayer games that have official solo rules, and multiplayer tabletop games that have fan-created solo variants.
Right up there among my favourites, you'll find Blitkrieg! World War Two In 20 Minutes (about the game at BGG).
This two-player game is fantastic, and the included solo rules are very well designed.
However, no matter the tabletop game: I do get a little bit annoyed by cumbersome/fiddly and/or time-consuming mechanisms/processes.
With Blitkrieg!, although I'm quite happy to draw "unit tokens" after every turn, I get annoyed with the process of drawing a stratagem token at the start of the A.I. Bot's turn (when playing solo.)
I have no idea why I'm annoyed, and I don't really care. I think: "what am I going to do about it?"
That problem is just a fun programming exercise. Since my heart belongs to the BASIC programming language, then it is BAM to the rescue.
