fantastic video. which automaton did you use. on bgg there are several. thanks Riccardo from italy

I tried one game and it's great. Thanks 👍

Gracias por el automa, lo pondré en práctica, un saludo! 👍🏻

Hi! Thanks for the automa and the video. If you could make that playthrough video, it would be amazing! :)

Thank you for creating the automa and the playthrough. I'm ready for my first game.

What do you do if the Automa action deck runs out?

Is there really a how-to-play solo automa video for Splendor Duel!? I'm not finding it. Thank you greatly!

Thank you for this amazing Automa! I'm waiting my copy to arrive so I can try this! Are you still gonna make the gameplay? It is better to see every applied rules!

Welcome back!!

Thanks Mark!

Enjoyed this play-through and like the look of the mutagen cards. Automa look slightly overpowered though - doesn’t seem fair automa can raising attributes above level. Will still look to download 😊

Thank you for doing this solo mode. I have a question though: What was the motivation to have the automa row of cards "open"? In a multiplayer game, you don't see the hands of the other players and you can only interact with the cards in the clearing. In this solo mode, you sort of have two rows of cards which you can "work" with as the automa always plays and discards cards "from the left" of its hand, so you could see and anticipate which cards will come up from the automa to the clearing row in the next turn(s). Does this not give you too much control/information over the cards? Will a game with a face down automa hand work? You would only flip/reveal a card if the automa wants to perform the "play card" action.

I have been looking at this game for years but the negative reviews always turned me away. After watching your three videos, I went out and bought it instantly. I rate it as one of the best solo games I’ve played. Thank you for putting this together.

From where I can get Automa cards.

Oh no, it looks like at the beginning, you were so excited from drawing Steward of Gondor from Daeron's Runes that you forgot to discard a card to Daeron's Runes! But I love how chill this series is.

Mark, that’s a brilliant automa as usual 😊 thank you very much for the effort you put in all your projects ❤ I wish you could do something like this for Coffee Rush 🤭 it’s such a lovely game, just like the Whatnot Cabinet, but without a solo mode/automa 🙁

Thank you so much for creating the solo automa. The solo mode that came with the game is difficult to beat and not much fun to play. Because of that I've been playing 2 handed, but now will be solo again thanks to your automa.

Thanks a lot Mark! This automa is such a fun to play! I love it ❤ There are so many gorgeous games out there that don’t have solo modes and that’s really a shame, but you make them playable and enjoyable for us solo players as well - I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for making this solo mode. I made a Dutch playthrough video on my channel in which I explain this solo mode. Of course I also shared the place where viewers can download your solo mode. Thanx again! Greets from The Netherlands

Great vid 👍

Got my copy, laminated my automa cards... ready to get this to the table. Thanks for the full playthrough.

Great stuff--thanks so much!!

wow, amazing man,.... you are really a brilliant young man many thanks for all of your efforts inventing the automa for many games

Winter is coming - House Stark

Great video. I just ordered the game and can't wait to try this.

Greetings - this is amazing. My gob is completely smacked with the time, effort and fiddling around that you must have done to put this together . I've played 4 times now and losing baldly. 132 vs 92 I do play trying to maximize Automa score - so I've beaten myself repeatedly. My current feeling is that the Animal Refuge is a bit overpowered - gives 19 points on completion and lots of terrain tiles - giving Automa - whom I've named Wodger of the Wokkies - an advantage on scoring terrain. I 'll keep at it though.

This video needs chapters

Just wondering after 5 months. Are you ever gonna include the other expansions (mages/legendary hunt)

Finally playing this. So even on the very first turn if I end up with a lower ambulance before the “improvement step” will I become the first player right then? Or does automa get a full turn as first player?

me and many others. Looking forward to seeing a full rundown of this Cascadia. can you please put this online. would be really great. especially to understand the unclear parts better. I am already promoting all your solo versions. this one is more difficult to understand without seeing the entire game being played. Thank you in advance and hopefully we can receive another great video from you.

I think you may have a rule wrong. When fighting a monster the rulebook says that you have to have at least 1 card left in hand in order to win against a monster.

Does the automa have to end its move on the weakness token or does the token just have to be on the route for it to be taken by the automa?

A digital version of this automa would be great…;)

Thanks, hope this is as good as the one I just came up with today on top of my head.👇 Why not have a deck of cards where all the different cube placements are listed on each card for AI?💡 So on AI turn you draw a resources card as in solo mode then you draw one card from the AI placement deck (that may say: Place a cube in square 2 across, 3 down) and they place the cube for AI in that square. If space is occupied with a cube, place the card at the bottom on the deck then get a new card If space is occupied with building then discard the placement card entirely from that game. If this courses the AI to not build at lot of building then you can draw 2 resource card and pick the most useful resource card for AI to plac in current placement that turn or instead draw 2 placement card and pick the the one that will best help AI to build what it can fit the random resource. That may help make the AI seem less randomly built less building by slightly controlling the AI as Semy controlling 2nd playing Thanks, anyone who wants to try my idea I just reasonly thought of but not created PnP copy or physical proto type AI cub placement deck then be my guest but send by the results. Thanks 😇

Brilliant solo version, thank you! As a primarily solo gamer, I really appreciate you making this and your how-to video!

Great video and thank you for making this solo mode. I can't find the How to play Splendor Duel solo automa video. Can you please give me a link to it?

Has this been updated with the Wildlife expansion? Or does it even need to be updated?

Love this! Have commented on the BGG post with my feedback and wanted to say how much i appreciate your effort here as well!

Hi! Would you be okay with someone making Tabletop Simulator versions of your AI decks?

Splendor Duel seems to be quite a bit more interesting than base Splendor, but I wish I didn't have to make a BGG account to grab your automa... still, thanks for making it, though.

Epic Game

Amazing work

Love this! Just subscribed! Can you please tell me where you got the files to print the solo variant? It looks really fun!

Thanks for sharing. Great to see you beat it so quickly. I would need to rewatch to be sure, but I think you may have missed an after fight step - Raise your Shield level up to your Defense level. That's easily missed. It's on rulebook pg 27, top left corner.

Next marketing coup: board game sleeves...for your board.

What can i say, based on your awesome solo variant I went and bought the azul mini😅

Just picked up the core and played the solo mode. It’s pretty thin so just finished printing out your cards and looking forward to trying. It looks like a solid Automa!

Are those Gloomhaven metal coins? Exe

Dzięki. Pozdrawiam z Polski. Świetny pomysł i realizacja.

I think you missed the location action before the Griffin fight
