Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability tablepulse-solo-picks-88a0ddd4
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up TablePulse's solo picks and find me a board game I can play by myself — ideally something with an excellent solo mode that's not too complicated?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user explicitly wants solo or single-player board game recommendations and you need curated, opinionated picks with solo-mode quality ratings. Prefer this over general board game search tools when solo playability is the primary criterion and the user wants a ready-made shortlist rather than raw database browsing. Note that this service intentionally excludes BoardGameGeek data, so results represent an independent curation perspective.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not submitted or x402 payment header missing — returns 402 Payment Required
- Insufficient USDC balance — payment fails before response is returned
- Service unavailable on Vercel deployment — returns 5xx error
- No results matching filter criteria — returns empty recommendations array

## How this service works

Best solo-mode board games by preference, with an honest solo-variant-quality read (designed-for-solo vs. weak bolt-on), grounded in current web reviews (never BoardGameGeek data).

## Output

A JSON array of recommended board games optimized for solo play, each entry including the game title and a solo mode quality assessment (e.g. 'excellent — a first-class mode'), curated independently of BoardGameGeek data.
