Lost Ruins of Arnak - Solo Playthrough - with Mats

I really enjoy the solo in this one. Thanks for sharing your playthrough. Always enjoy your style.

This looks like a fun adventure game in the vein of Indiana Jones. I’d be curious about your thoughts on replay ability. I typically play my games 40 - 50 times and really look for variable player powers, multiple scenarios and other random setup/play features. I almost exclusively play solo so I’m curious if it’s just shuffling cards between each game or if there is something here that offers more intentional variability. Great video as always. I appreciate seeing the game play!

The game is on boardgamearena now so you can play it there! I did a few times now and its fun, not sure about 40-50 plays though, I would get bored way before that I think, but then again its personal how much one likes to play the same game also :)

Hi Alex! Slow reply... There are two versions of the game board that offers some variability on the research track. There is also a released solo expansion (PNP) from the publisher that offers a tougher difficulty and some other added challenges for solo play. I've also heard rumors of a solo campaign to be released sometime in the future.

@@matsjengard187 Thanks Mats! I’m looking forward to more playthroughs in the future.

too much mistakes !!!!!!!

[@matsjengard187]

tactical or rules?

[@BoardgameswithNiramas]

Please if you spot any rules mistakes let me know what time in the video so I can add a text :)

@25:00 Mats should have the Rival buy the highest point Item. He then makes the same mistake with the next Rival action (he should've bought an Artifact).

[@BoardgameswithNiramas]

Mats is a noob ;)

[@clvrswine]

Also, @18:17, the Rival discovers a new location, but Mats does not place one the Rival Archeologists on that space. If he had placed one there, he could not have gone there to dig on his next turn. I am using this video to learn the Solo version, so this confused me.

@@clvrswine Im sorry, I think there was a few mistakes by Mats in this one, Ill help you clear it up, you are correct in your observation there
