Hey Mike! Thanks for taking the time to cover my solo design! You seemed to play the solo rules mostly correct, but some misunderstandings around the base game rules seem to cause issues in your play here (I can’t speak to off-camera plays):

13:28 - a base game rule is that species cannot attack species without population
14:38 - Shark should have leeched from the apex predator species before feeding.
21:52 - to play deep cards, the population comes from your score pile, not off of one of your species boards in play.
32:00 - the game ends immediately after the turn once the game end is triggered in the solo mode.

I’m certain that you would win more successfully with the above changes!

Thanks. I am intrigued by all the logic layers here. Art and theme look great...trying to discern whether the puzzle is stimulating or work.

Hello! Thank you for the video. I was not able to get it from the kickstarter. Will there be a retail release? Is there a PnP version of it?

I like the prototype solo variant of this one thats on bgg which is similar, but just slightly different. I adapted a bit more to my liking, because I didnt like the gain tokens, like you describe as well.

Are there any solo variants for the base game? Thanks for the vid!
