Thank you as ever for posting these!

Hi, I'm not sure how, but you've played on a different set-up. If you try again, I suggest using the alternative starting method outlined near the bottom of the opening post and checking the seed is 16988400.

Hi, I definitely want to have a Lantids challenge but it needs for map and tech set-up to be suitable, and I have no control over the set-up, only the choice of faction. So it might not be December. You might be interested in a Lantids gameplay and strategy video by 'Galahad B' (easily searchable), featuring a game on BGA.

Thanks for coming back - don't know why it didn't work but used your suggestion and gave it another try:

bk_marvel - 191, Automächtig - 123

Started with knowledge and terraforming and then got up most of them.

Still absolutely love this game after 489(!) games on BGA.

(EDIT - https://boardgamearena.com/5/gaiaprojec ... =444001929 - similar approach but 198 to 120.)

Nice game! The bad news is that you mis-posted your score; the good news is it should be 220 .

Confusingly, there was also a Xenos 'automa of the week' the same week, so I wonder if you selected that.
Glad you still love the game. It has a lot of variety and replayability, doesn't it. Might you add a favourite faction to the favourite faction forum topic?

Last chance everyone to share scores: there will be a new solo challenge tomorrow.
Score list updated.

It has been a month of quality over quantity, with kespie topping the chart. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the challenge, in such a positive way.
