Would love to see that, mostly just trying to top my own (low) score every game anyway.

I heard back from *Moof, the programmer. Here’s our chat:

Hi I noticed there is a topic on the forms that people love this game and wish there was a solo mode. Any chance for that? And thanks for great programming on it! 08:30 AM

*Hello 09:05 AM
I did a lot of game here 09:05 AM

Oh! Sorry. Of course! This is about Faraway 10:02 AM

*There is no solo variant for faraway 10:45 AM

Huh! Why do you say that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxdrdGtK5dU 12:36 PM

is it just that it’s not possible to program it? I know nothing about creating games. I don’t mean to be rude. 12:37 PM

*I'm in touch with the publisher and I never heard about this. I dont think it will bé planned. Sorry. And I didnt want to be rude, sorry about this 01:22 PM

Oh no, you’re not being rude. We just really love the game and we would all like to chance to get better by playing solo. But I get it if you can’t do it. Thank you for responding and you did a great job with the games you do. 01:23 PM

To be clear, the "solo variant" is a house rule. It's not from the game designer or the publisher. BGA does not do house rules (unless approved by the designer/publisher).

that too bad as solo mode would be very helpful for beginners to get used to the game and understand the scoring mechanism and play to build up their chops before they jump in with others, and to stay fresh when there is no one else to play with.

Bring SOLO MODE please!

Thanks

On games like this without a solo mode I like to do 2 players hottest and play vs myself to learn the game and sometimes just for fun.
