Why do some people play solitaire board games?
1. The simplest answer is: More gaming choices. Why just play multiplayer games?
There is a wealth of games out there for solo play, of all sorts of themes and complexity, including free print-and-play games.
最简单的回答是：有那么多的游戏可选择，为什么只是玩多人游戏呢？
有各种主题和复杂性的游戏可供solo游玩，还包括免费的pnp游戏。
2. Some gamers do not have a regular gaming group they can play with.
They might live in a small town where it is hard to form a game group, or they may have a busy home life and cannot attend a weekly game night. For some their only gaming partner is their spouse or their children, and they don’t always want to play when you want to play.
一些玩家没有固定的游戏圈子和他一起玩。
他们可能生活在一个小城市很难找到桌游同好，或者他们很忙，不能参加每周一次的桌游聚会。
对一些人来说他们唯一的游戏伙伴是老婆孩子，当你想玩的时候他们并不一定愿意陪你玩。
3. Then there are gamers who work with people all day, so they find playing solo is more relaxing.
Some players just need some alone time, and introverts can be more themselves playing solo games. Playing a solitaire game means not having to teach the rules to others, and there is no needless distraction of arguments about rules, cell phone breaks, pack up time, etc.
还有一些玩家的工作就是一整天和各种人在一起，所以他们发现solo能让他更放松。
有些玩家只是需要一些独处的时间，而内向的人则更多地只是需要自己和自己玩。
solo游戏意味着不需要向别人讲规则，也不会出现争论规则、各自玩手机、无聊的等待时间等等其他问题。
4. Solitaire games tend to have more of a puzzle aspect and there are gamers who really enjoy tackling these puzzles.
They see it as an enjoyable intellectual exercise. They like seeing the way a designer recreates an opponent in AI, like the deck of cards in D-day at Omaha Beach.
单人游戏往往更像是一个谜题，而有一些玩家真的非常享受解决这些谜题。
他们将其视为一种令人愉悦的思维锻炼。他们乐于看到设计师用AI的方式建立一个对手，就像D-Day中的奥马哈海滩牌组。
5. When you are playing a solo game you can go at your own pace.
You can stop and read the rules. Take your time to think about your strategy. You can get AP without pressure from other people to hurry up--for 3 days. Some players like having a reset button. (Oops, screwed that up. Let's just start the whole game over.) Try doing that during your next multi-player game.
当你solo时，你可以按照自己的节奏走。
你可以停下来读规则。花点时间思考你的策略。
你可以不必考虑来自其他玩家的压力，按自己的节奏来获得胜利。
有些玩家喜欢有个重置按钮(靠，翻车了，这把干脆掀了重来吧...)，你可以试试在多人游戏中这样做...
6. Another big plus for Solitaire games is that you can play games that your friends don’t enjoy.
They could be war games or history games. Some players just aren’t interested in recreating actual battles from the Napoleonic Wars. They could have long play times or more complicated rules and mechanics. Solitaire gaming allows a gamer to get more plays out of the games in their collection. They can buy a game they will be able to play instead of waiting for group to play it. They just can’t justify playing $50 - $60 for a game that only gets played twice a year
solo游戏的另一大优点是你可以玩你的朋友不喜欢的游戏。
他们可能是兵棋或古董游戏。一些玩家对重现拿破仑战争中的真实战斗并不感兴趣。
他们可能玩一局要非常长的时间或规则机制异常复杂。
solo可以让玩家们有更多的机会去玩这些游戏而不仅仅是收藏。
他们可以买一个想要玩的游戏，而不是非要等着小伙伴和你玩。
没有理由要为一个一年只玩两次的游戏花三五百块钱。
7. So what about video games? Why wouldn’t you play Assassin's Creed 4 instead of setting up a game by yourself on the kitchen table? Or how about watching TV or reading a book?
Well, if you are like me then your job is spent all day in front of a computer, so some people don’t want to spend their leisure time in front of screen. Also you don’t need to learn tons of button combos or have fast reflexes to play a board game. Watching a movie is a passive activity, and books do not allow interaction with the medium--you can never change War and Peace. Solo gamers like the tactile feel of board games: They like pushing counters, flipping cards and tossing dice. They can exercise their minds more playing solo games.
为啥不玩电子游戏呢？你为啥要在餐桌上玩桌游而不是坐在沙发玩刺客信条？看电视或看书不是更舒服么？
好吧，如果你像我一样工作就是整天在电脑前度过，你肯定也不会想把闲暇时间花在屏幕前。
你也不需要学习大量的组合键连续技或者快速反应来玩棋盘游戏。
看电影是一种被动活动，书籍没有交互--你永远不能改变战争与和平。
solo玩家喜欢桌游的触觉:他们喜欢推算子、翻牌和掷骰子。他们可以通过玩solo游戏来激活大脑。
8. Some players like to play multiplayer games solo so they can better learn the rules and strategies.
Gamers can dissect the strategy aspects of a game and then play each character to test each facet of it. They can learn to play a new game before they have to teach it. One player said he likes to improve his multiplayer game scores.
有些玩家喜欢精分，这样他们可以更好地学习规则和策略。
玩家可以分析游戏策略，然后扮演每个角色从各个方面测试游戏。他们可以在教别人玩之前先学会游戏怎么玩。
某位玩家说他超喜欢精分...
9. There are many solitaire games that are story driven and feel more immersive.
When a gamer plays a solitaire board game, they get more of a sense of the story of the game. Many solitaire games are character driven, and you can become that character. There is an improved immersion because there is no one else to break the atmosphere the game--and you--create. You can talk to yourself, your characters, and tell the story as you play. One player mentioned they write up stories based upon their gaming sessions, and by playing solo they get even more story out of each session.
一些solo游戏是由故事驱动的，让人身临其境。当玩家solo时，他们对游戏的故事会有更多深入的了解。
一些solo游戏是由角色驱动的，你可以化身为那个角色。游戏中没有人能打破由你创造的游戏氛围。
你可以和自己对话，和你的角色对话，讲述一个属于自己的故事。
