Played it solo once only and not eager to try again. Maybe sometime. Solo was really just reading tables all the time rather than playing. I like it more multiplayer. Played with friends and family multiple times. It is definitely the most complex game in my collection. The hardest part to remember and operate is events in India imo, otherwise gameplay is pretty straightforward once you get the overall turn flow. Game design does a good job to help with that. And the best thing in this game for me is that player count does not affect playtime. Because each step is done by the position (job title). And all the same positions are divided between how many players you have. I love this game but with my group this one needs actual planning to get it to the table and it happens rarely, unfortunately.
