The Automa Factory is a big reason why solo games have come so far in the last few years.

Mike I find your analysis (plural) of boardgames always on point. It is always a pleasure to hear your point of view about solo on each game, thank you for being our spokesman ! You should be reviewing games more often with Tom, your additional point of view will be appreciated a lot by the community I believe. Now I have to consider wether buying tapestry or not for solo... my wallet hates you, again :D

Setup and Teardown is wonderful to discuss. For example, I love Charterstone, but sometimes I think it takes too long for whatever time I have to break it open and play. I often pass it over despite the love I have for it. Unrelated, but wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your session on the Spaces Between segment with Roy. Your enthusiasm for gaming and your thoughtfulness regularly seen in your videos shined throughout the interview. You’d be a valued member in anyone’s gaming group! Too bad you’re out of state for my group.

Thanks a lot! for this video. I have spent hours enjoying solo-plays of Scythe, Viticulture, Gaia Project and others. I am also a huge fan (since the 90s) of the Sid Meier's Civ series. So, this is a good boardgame, with a solid solo mode, a good review, and a Civilization theme. What else could I ask? :-)

Question: Besides the Automa, does the Solo Mode contain some number of (thematic) Scenario-Based win conditions? This is the 'next step' in Solo Modes after all. For an example of SB-SM, I'd like to refer to the current KS of Merchants Cove, for instance, where (besides having an A-SM) the game provides thematic scenarios with specific gameplay instructions and win conditions to guide a solo player. This adds much-needed variety to the solo game experience, something Automas only touch upon, as they are mechanical in nature and often only affect the actions of gameplay (tactics) and not the overall gameplay (strategy) or win conditions (not to mention any narrative).
@solomodegames

It does not have scenarios for the solo mode. While I think those can be great, I don't think they're necessary to have a viable, robust solo mode. The Automa Factory has upped the level of AI bots across the board.

Great review. The solo mode doesnt sound that different from Scythe. Scythe had the cards racing for stars separate from the map units hindering you. They just combine the scoring at the end. I will gave to disagree about 7 wonders. No knock on Tapestry, but 7 Wonders sounds more like a Civilisation game due to interactions and staged development.
