Reviewing 3 Ways to Solo Clans of Caledonia

Little did I know when I sought out this project that there are THREE ways to Caledonia.
00:35 - The official solo
02:48 - Fan-made card-based automa
05:41 - The semi official automa in development

Thanks for saying nice things about the fan-made automa! Clans of Caledonia is one of my favorite games, and I've really enjoyed playtesting a lot of the possible new clans, etc. that Juma has put up on the BGG forum. He's been quite open with the community to get feedback on potential expansion ideas... including when he was developing the automa! I was fortunate enough to playtest several iterations of it, and I love how it turned out. Any automa will have some kind of maintenance to run it, and everyone will have there own threshold of what's too much. For example, I don't think it's any more complex than the Scythe Automa (and people love that!). It does take a game to get the swing of it, but once you do, it's great and I feel like it puts up a very tough challenge.

The solo (or multi player) implementation on board game arena is fantastic. Highly recommended.

The best solo games in my opinion = Feast for Odin and Robinson Crusoe.
