My gut reaction is that it won't trigger often enough, eve. In my 3 player game the other night I had something like 12 greenery, one special tile and 5 cities. Someone else had about 6 tiles. And the other, had 7 or so. It should be generation based instead of based on the TR track. It would probably only trigger about 8 or 9 times. Ideally the Ai should build 5 to 12 times. However you would want to handle that. There are 14 generations in the solo game. So... what you would do is build a deck of 14 cards. 5 of them would be "ai builds greenery". 3 of them "build a city". 3 of them "roll a die, use lookup chart". And the last 3 "roll a die, 1-5 it builds a greenery, 6 - 8 it builds a city". Shuffle the 14 card deck. At the start of each odd generation, ai draws one of those cards and does the effect. For the even generations it also uses a card but only after your first turn of that generation. Something like that.

Yeah, that’s pretty good! Let me know if you end up giving it a shot. Usually when I play solo it works out ok - but I think that maybe my play style might not be as much tile-oriented as you. 😅

You got a lot of rules wrong that significantly made everything easier. Nice that you caught some prior, but man did you get others wrong and added small rule additions that made your game easier. I mean, it's okay. Zombicide is supposed to be a very moddable game, but you can't say it's so easy when you set things up to be easy on purpose and by accident, at the same time.

I love the spirit behind all these! Reminds me of the sorts of things we'd come up with for HeroQuest back in the 90s (or what people older than I did with Talisman in the 80s). I'm not sure I'd actually want to play with all these, though, because of the extra book-keeping, game length, and fiddling.
@TheMountainGamerАй бұрын
Thanks for the comment. 🙂 I’ve been playing with all of these an honestly it’s really easy to implement. And the more you play with them, the more it just becomes part of the game flow. I guess the Roaming Enemies is the fiddliest… but you can live without those for sure and still have a great time.

Hello @The Mountain Gamer, at the beginning I would like to thank You very much for the co-op and solo version of the Clank in Space board game. I really like it, because I don’t like the apps and on the other hand, playing co-op with my family seems much better than a standard cooperative game. I wish more rules according to the Clank in Space: Apocalypse and Pulsarcade appear in the future. At this moment I am going to use Your variant with some adjustment to play these solo or in co-op mode. I am after 1st game with my daughter (9 years old) and I have some questions according to the rules of Your variant if You don’t mind: 1. First - according to the Heist List: I understand that the team has to get a proposed number of maj. and min. secrets in total for all players (e.g. 10 min. secrets and 6 maj. secrets for 2 players). Does activated and discarded secrets count to this - e.g. applied Mega Health Boost or Vaporizer. I assume yes, because if every player has limited space to 6 items, it is impossible to get 10 min. secrets + 6 maj. secrets. And what about secrets with victory points discarded by using the Points Lottery - do they count to the final scoring? 2. Second - according to the Heist List as well: To win the game, the players have also to achieve total value of credits. Do You count here spent credits e.g. for market items? What about secrets with credits on them? Should I count them as secrets as well as credits? 3. Third question is related to the exchange mode. You said the players are able to exchange cards and tokens, if they are on the same spot. Do You mean: cards in hand, cards in discard pile, cards in draw pile or all of them. What about the number of cards the players can exchange during the current turn? Do I give all my stumble card to another player who gather many - # Clank cards? 4. The last issue: You said that the players can select, which player will be affected with removing clank ability. Does it work the same if we talk about healing, can we choose who will receive healing? Thank You very much in advance for the reply. Best regards. Martin
@TheMountainGamer4 ай бұрын
Hi Martin, I could never get this variant as balanced as I would like it (for co-op), but I'm glad you're having fun with it. :) Here are answers to your questions: 1) You simply *keep track* of every Secret you've picked up (used or unused, it's all the same). 2) Credits. Here I am referring to Credits that you've got in front of you at game end, ie, Credits you *haven't spent*. I'm basically asking you to hoard some cash. As for Secrets with Credits printed on them, because they actually gave you Credits when you flipped them over, I would NOT consider them as "Credits" at game end. 3) My idea for exchanging cards was "cards from your hand". And, I feel like you can exchange as many as you want, and any Type you want. 4) If your card says "-2 Clank", you can have your friend remove their Clank instead of you. If you want to do the same with Healing abilities, go ahead! It wasn't my intention, but honestly, like I said in the video, I never really tried to get the balance right on the co-op version. So..... feel free to experiment and make it your own. The goal is just for you to *have a good time*. :) Sorry for the late reply, Have fun!

Fun fact: Zombicide barricade tokens do exist. They were in classic and they were double sided actually. It SIX actions to put up one barricade, but it would block zombies entirely unless they get an extra activation.

I think I'm using the correct die (d10) -- I never change my die mid-game.

@TheMountainGamer8 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment, but I have to disagree with you somewhat. The app is complimentary to the physical game. Even if the app had more / all of the information listed on some / all of the cards, it wouldn’t render the physical game obsolete. You still need the map tiles, the minis, the dice, etc… I think my criticism at 7:50 is a valid one. It would’ve been extremely easy for them to have a copy of the card pop up, and it would’ve made the experience smoother.
@danieldwyer8 ай бұрын
@@TheMountainGamer We are going to have to agree to disagree. I don't need the mini's nor the map pieces. I could use chess pieces to represent the monsters and characters and a chess board with toothpicks to outline the shape of the tiles of the dungeon. I could use pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters to represent the search tokens and such. As you already have a lay out of what is on the dice, I could easily use a 6 sided die with each box you have printed being numbers 1-6. Even the rule book can be found online for free. The only thing that is keeping people from needing the game is what is actually on the individual cards, character sheets, and monster cards...plus the scernario books. With that said, I do agree with you that it would have been nice to list the character, monsters, and equipment stats on the app, I just think if they did that, they'd have to charge for any use of it and none of it would be free. Overall, I think when you buy the physical game, you are getting a free solo play app with it.
