Hi! Love you videos. I know this is an older video but I am on the fence about getting Tabannusi for solo only. The gameplay and choices look interesting. Just wondering if this one holds up in terms of replayability. I also read that the rules for the AI are not very clear and tweaks are needed to make the bot more challenging.

In truth it has been a while since I have played this solo, mostly because of the solo rules being tough to execute and the bot being not too competitive. I would probably recommend many of the other T games before this one from a solo only standpoint unless you are willing to put in some effort to make the experience better than it is out of the box. Thanks for the compliment on my videos!

Thanks for the breakdown. I had interest until I heard how bad the instructions were. I normally play two handed in my first plays. This is still have on my list to purchase but will be later. Maybe after a second release. Thanks for sharing!

I would wait until they tweak or fix the bots.

Currently trying to learn this. Read the rulebook and I am still no closer to understanding how to play. I guess I'll have to do a slow learning multi-handed game, then try the solo bot later. Thanks for your helpful video.

It is a real tragedy that the rule book is so bad and the solo explanation is even worse. This is a good game made frustrating for a while because of poor rules.

After my second play through, I beat the Bot-Baba by 100 points. I will definitely spot the bot extra buildings constructed at the start and have them begin 2 spaces up on the mastery tracks. Like people said, they struggled to build because they ended up having 3 plot projects which they could never afford in most cases where they were supposed to build. This is a fun game, but a tweak is necessary to make it competitive against the bot. I am very surprised that this did not come up in play testing!

They did not and I am not sure what the best tweaks are but I am going to suggest the ones that have the bot start with a few more buildings on the board and 2 levels up on each of the mastery tracks. That should help things without adding extra complexity.

It's very weird they miss player aids when Zapotec, also by B&D and released basically at the same time, has them, though not for solo.

I agree. At this point in time, I think player aids should be standard for any game that is not medium light or lighter. Think of how long this game was probably in development. You spend years on something only to have the community thumb it down due to the rules presentation. If I was the designer, I would be working to fix this ASAP. And finally, there is a statement on the back of their rule book basically pledging to do so…I am very confused.
