SOLO SCENARIO BOOK

This scenario book has three parts. First, there are some general principles that apply to all scenarios, or to a subcategory of scenarios (like cooperative scenarios). In the second
part, there are optional variant rules you can use for your game. The third part contains descriptions of the scenarios.

1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

explore and conquer.
This map is most suitable for 2 or 3 players. Because of
its narrow start, it is not recommended if the players are
of different levels of experience: With 3 players, an
inexperienced player may get blocked at the start. With
4 players, this risk gets even higher and harder to avoid.
