Mode Solo

[Rorolili]

Bonjour à tous,

Avez vous déjà réussi une partie solo ? Pour moi, impossible ! J'arrive tout juste à remplir la moitié du plateau... Peut être qu'il y a quelque chose qui m'échappe ... Merci pour vos retours ! Belle journée

I played for the first time a few days ago and won the solo game with 11 points. I think my experience with Bärenpark helped me out quite a bit.

At a guess, the thing you're missing might be that you can move to the next space that gives animals without having to use any of your range tokens (unless you want it to use up a token). I used that fairly often to get more animals and thus more attraction tiles. Feel free to look up the replay of my game for greater detail, if you like

Thanks a lot ! I watched your game and indeed, I understood a few things, but I still don't understand why the game ends before the end of the 2 turns... I will persist !

The solo game ends when once you fill up your player board or 2 turns around the supply board, whichever of these happens first.

I don't get 2 times around the supply board. After my second turn I could not place any more tiles.

In my first solo game after my first round arround it i could not play any more enclousure so i could only place three enclosure and get -36

I realise this is a really old post, but I had a similar problem the first time I played solo mode, because the regular tutorial doesn't explain how solo works with the range tokens. So this is in case others run into it as well.

The key is: You need to use all the range tokens, after which they repopulate. If you're in a situation where there are "no legal moves" then you probably have 1 or 2 range tokens left that won't ever land you on enclosure spaces. Just use them up, and you'll gain one of each again.

You start w/ 1 each of 0,1,2,3, & 4+ tokens. Once they have all been used, you get another set. When collecting animals you may have the option of using one or not; I find it's best to use one if it's the 3 or 4+, but to save the others for collecting enclosures, at least early in the game.

Hope this is helpful to anyone new to solo mode!
