Solo Game - Countdown Turn Timer

[AZNative]

I have only played Ark Nova twice & both were Solo on BGA. I am wondering if there is a countdown timer on the solo game so I know how many turns I have left? I Googled it & the game only gives you 27 turns.
BTW, I watched a few YouTube videos regarding gameplay for both solo & multi-player games but I wanted to play solo a few times before I dove into a multi-player game & looked like an idiot but I also read that you usually get more turns in a multi-player game so hopefully I would score higher?? My first solo game I scored -30 & my second solo game I scored -35.

I don't think there's a countdown timer. You can work it out by looking at the break board (top right of the screen by default, I believe), but it does require understanding exactly how the breaks work in the solo game.

You do typically get more turns in a multiplayer game - a game which ends in only 32 turns is quite fast - but you typically get fewer breaks so you don't necessarily have more resources to work with. Also, unless you're playing with the "peaceful" option, some cards are less powerful - e.g. the adder and cobra replace Hypnosis 3 with Determination, which I consider a significant upgrade. However, the game only ends when someone gets to 0 points, so unless someone else is racing ahead of you you should score more than -35.
