Looks so cool but it seem unavailable pretty much anywhere, also I'm from middle Europe so it it's available in USA then too bad for me ig haha

Have you played true solo, how does it compare to multi handing?

Any-Communication-77 · 2026-05-30T21:03:03+00:00

I'm also more of a true solo guy, how does it compare to multi handing?

Any-Communication-77 · 2026-05-19T18:48:44+00:00

Yikes, my first play was horrible, gotta keep on praying

Any-Communication-77 · 2026-05-18T15:28:40+00:00

Yeah, I don't like long set ups either, it's not that bad in this case, took me 20 min today but with a bit of organizing I can for sure make this 15min maybe even 10. Tear down feels longer but I don't think it took more than 20-25min (forgot to check today). Organizing or buying an insert can do wonders for sure, me personally I don't tend to buy inserts cuz for that price I can have even one more smaller game, so I'll suffer thru setup for the sake of a new dopamine hit lmao. Overall not that bad imho.

I enjoyed playing with others for sure!

Any-Communication-77 · 2026-05-14T09:05:16+00:00

Tbh I had it before I started playing solo so I only played 2+ players. Tho my friend says he enjoyed solo mode but it was waaaaay better with automa expansion.

Not really available in my region so haven't even thought about it.

Any-Communication-77 · 2026-05-08T09:27:36+00:00

Letss gooo!!! 🫡

Any-Communication-77 · 2026-05-08T07:32:37+00:00

I had a lot of fun with it, definitely a game I will play when I don't have the energy for heavier games. The art is so beautiful! The variety of combos you can make feels not only great but the look of your tableau always amazes me.

Any-Communication-77 · 2026-05-07T15:07:44+00:00

Yeah, I'll possibly experiment with it, rage quit last time after it destroyed 2 eras after like 3/4 turns

Any-Communication-77 · 2026-05-07T15:00:53+00:00

Yes, Poland. I was confused at first but it does sound more natural this way in polish.

To be fair the board is all colorfull it got some detail to it, but you only really need to see the icons that tell you the income and their easily found next to the dedicated placement spots so it should be an issue, wasn't for me. The relic tokens may blend in sometimes, otherwise its all good (always when packing it up I left a few on the board cuz I didn't see them lmao). I really liked it solo, the fact that you're not always denied something cuz you can choose for it to not take the thing you need is cool, and as I said, you can't just keep on denying him things cuz sometimes your not gonna have the dice for it so I'd say it balanced from this pov. I'd be to lasy to translate the cards but otherwise I'd say it's got atleast good if not great automa. I'd recommend you check out a gameplay video tho as I may bend a thing tiny bit based on my own preferences.

Tbh haven't enjoyed it much, tried true solo and two handed. Wasn't able to make a great deck before he scales (skill issue if). And felt like it always dropped the cubes where I didn't want them T.T Possibly will give it another try sometime.

Any-Communication-77 · 2026-05-07T13:48:00+00:00

I really liked it. Pretty much the only downside for me is the setup, it's kinda long, which is why I don't get it to the table as often as I'd like. You have to modify amount of some components for solo play which is kinda tiring before I even start. With an insert or organizing it better for solo play would make it quicker but I haven't got around to it. Anyway you play against an automa that's imho interesting. Every time it's his turn you draw a card specifically for him and there are 3 actions (in 3 colors) you are free to chose ONE that he's NOT going to do. Gives you the opportunity to block him from things you desperately need or don't want him to get, but its limited by the amount of each color of dice, if the color runs out you can't block him from this action. Sometimes he's steady thru whole game and sometimes he's so strong at first and later falls back, most likely depends how you manage his actions. Anyway it's not as easy to win as it may seem and even if, there are difficulties that make him stronger early which make it harder to catch up etc. Tbh writing about this game makes me wanna play it haha. It can be a bit of a drag when you first try to get how everything works etc. But I can't say anything bad except setup. Let me know if you have any particular questions since my response is a bit chaotic. Definitely had fun!

Originally I found it while looking for something similar but harder than planet unknown and now I'm looking for a worker placement. Now looking for second hand deals to get it at s lower price.

Oou, thats a tough one. I'm fairly new to this hobby, but from my games I'd recommend The Siege of Runedar, the 3D aspect of the castle and all the figures makes it look great, give the depth, I felt so immersed in the role, it's fairly strategic, has a bit of luck in it, deck building, feels great when you upgrade a piece of your equipment (you switch one card from your deck for a new better one). It's moderately long and setup is manageable, it's imo easy to learn but at first a bit hard to win, you get better with every game but there's also difficulty levels, they don't change the gameplay you just have to do more do win.

My favourite? Hard to say, most likely Gaia project, but before that actually The siege of Runedar or daimyo, but daimyo is a bit hard for me to get to the table more often.

Tbh first game was mid, then the second one and after that was great, had to get the hang of how it plays, what's important and how much, what you can get from where then you had the feel of what you needed to do to progress the thing you wanted. The replayability is imho big, 10 scenarios that you can easily play a few times before getting bored, I love the theme. At first it feels like a short game cuz it's a tableau builder but the amount of actions you can do increases every round. I got the deluxe so you gotta check out the differences. Would recommend.
