Ares Expedition Solo Playthrough - With Minor House Rules

[@mazman9355]

My solo house rule (worth it to reduce my rage): for the first Phase card in a round (i.e. first of five), if the A.I.s' card is the same Phase as mine, I'm allowed to choose its next phase card (and reshuffle the remaining 4). The world seems too unfair if our first Phases are the same...

Just stumbled across this one at major discount. Never have played TM so we don't have the comparison. Wife and I have enjoyed the first two playthroughs. Keep up the great work Alex!

Will get this in retail for my solo collection, once it is released in the Netherlands.

[@Insanearium]

I will be playing with your house rule in the future, nice call

[@BoardGameCo]

It's the only way I play now :)

@@BoardGameCo Came to ask about if these new rules made it permanently. Played my first solo with this game and lost big time (first time). Will be a fun challenge. Do you also used these rules for multiplayer games as well?

[@MerlinsManor]

You forgot to give yourself the 3 money production for toll station, which would have given you enough money to do one more forest. Also, when you play interplanetary conference, you do not get the effect on that card play (says excluding this card).

Interesting house rule, thanx!

I played this for about 4 games in a row once i got it. Great fun, easy to set up and re-set. Won 2, 1st game didn't count as it was a learner. Would like a 6th round lol. hold onto 10 cards for the last round. 30 MC!

Hi! Can you provide some tips for this game?? XD I am dying in solo and struggling to get a good engine running. It's so hard to decide what to prioritize and which phase to choose. Thanks!!

[@jpeterrich]

I know row game very well and prefer not have to watch the entire video. What are the minor recommended house rules?

[@martinvoetman8717]

Just played solo. Lost bigtime. Had to many different things i wanted to do. Had a lot of fun though. Maybe tonight co op mode with the wife. Can you do a vid about that?

[@przemekg.1870]

Hello, I have a question. To win in solo mode - do I have to also reach max. TR ? or only oceans, temp and oxygen ?

[@nickhilbert750]

temp requirment for green houses wasnt met?

[@BoardGameCo]

I'd have to rewatch...been a while :)

Solo is the purest form of gaming.
