CDG Solo System (GMT) Overview

[sharl]

I was happy to solo playing two hands. Long didnt see any particular need to go beyond that.

Yet this Stuka Joe solo method breathes yet more life into solo play. More excitement. Less predictability. And I appreciate the fewer cards I need to consider. Helps also deal with combat cards.

Works very well for me.

I love the simplicity of the rule of 3 for the commands and colors series.
Deal 3 cards, use one, keep one in your hands and discard the last. Easy peasy

Marco, I play a lot of multiplayer solo, like you. However, I 100% have trouble playing two handed solo with card driven games. Take Twilight Struggle as an example. How can you play that, if you know one of your hands has a certain scoring card? How can you play that, if you know that your opponent has or doesn't have a card to go to Defcon 1, ending the game? As I said, I can play multiplayer solo with a normal dudes on the map game, maybe even certain CDGs where the card knowledge isn't game breaking. But with many CDGs, I welcome a new option to play multiplayer solo.

It's hard to see the advantage of this system, at least for a game like Commands and Colors (I don't know some of the other games, which may have a richer choice to make than just what card to play). The appeal of card games to me is hidden knowledge, sitting there looking at your cards and the board, wondering what your opponent will do (with cards you don't know). And then having to adjust on the fly, or being gratified that your expectations were correct. Whether I am randomizing the card options a bit more or playing full two handed, the very point of card games is lost.

GMT do a very good job here as you can also download this set FREE from their site. I find it useful in those situations when you get brain jam and hesitate too much. Here you roll the dice and the system offers at most 3 cards I think

all i need is a proper 6 player ai for his

[andreojuegosyestrategia]

I don’t know any of those games and I don’t think I will get any of them. It’s an interesting idea but probably if you could use it on any game and not just those ones

[Darthvegeta]

I see no reason to get these. C and C for example is already rather random or you redraw more or at another moment.
