For me games are a vehicle for socialising with friends or making new ones. Not enjoying the human element leaves me with a puzzle that has semi predictable randomisers. I’d rather do a sodoku or crossword at that point. I feel similarly about solo games. Not to knock you if you enjoy that stuff but it’s just not for me.

Something similar made itself very apparent to me in 2020. The things I enjoy most are socialising and manipulating physical bits. BGA with people I know can offer socialising (at least in a real-time game); a solo game can give me the bits. But playing a solo game on BGA takes out both.
