Raiders Solo

Garphill Games

About this game

This is a solo variant for Raiders of the North Sea, which requires the physical board game to be played. It is also compatible with Hall of Heroes, Fields of Fame and all promo materials. This variant includes 23 scheme cards which drive the decision making process of the AI opponent.

You will always take your turn first, followed by your opponent. Your turns function just as they would in the standard game (with the exception of 1 Village location being blocked each turn). Your opponent’s turns operate differently. On their turn, reveal the top Scheme Card from the Schemes Draw Pile and follow its instructions. Your opponent will always attempt to Raid if they can. Otherwise, they will Work.

Ratings and reviews

It looks nice, but there are a couple of issues: 1. I can't save, so when I have a break in my game and continue later, I have to start a new solo deck - hence my 3 star rating (as is, this is not a good substitute for the physical solo deck). Hopefully a save feature will be added soon. 2. There's 21 cards, not 23. I'm assuming the missing two cards are used for the expansion locations (?). If so, there's no option for including or excluding them.

Amazing app - and a great way to replace a physical product that is no longer available. To anyone making note about the "missing" cards - I emailed Shem and all 23 cards are indeed there, it's just that during setup - two of these cards are randomly removed so the deck is functioning as intended.

Great app that looks great, runs well, and enables you to play the tabletop version of Raiders of the North Sea solo with an AI player. App interface really fits the feel of the game.
