Very good solo board game
I really like this board game, it’s perfect for solo play. It uses worker-placement and hand-management mechanics. Also, the setup and cleanup are very quick (2 minutes), and it doesn’t take up much table space, so it’s very easy to bring it out to play. The campaign is simple but interesting. After each game, some cards are added that can make the rest of the games either easier or more difficult. The only negative thing I can say is that in the card market, there aren’t many meaningful decisions to make as you always want to buy as many cards as possible to make your deck thicker (since it determines when the flow of the river advances and also because you lose cards easily due to building canals and barbarians’ attacks). I recommend it for people who enjoy playing solo!

Amazing production, Amazing game!
This is the perfect game for solo players for replayability, quality, difficuly, and much more. The story isn't heavily involved, but it's an excellent touch that is worth appreciating, rounding out a must buy for any game enthusiast.

My favorite.
This game quickly became my favorite solo game. It's pure solo, which is rare. There's story elements, but they can also be ignored if you don't care, or after the first few plays. My only critique is that the campaign can get a tad too long, but you can easily take a break from it without losing track.

Excellent game - instructions could be better
Really enjoying this game. I'm always looking for a game that plays solo. Since this is designed for solo play only, I had high hopes for it, and it doesn't disappoint. It is designed to be played as a campaign, with each game lasting about an hour. Each game, win or lose, builds on the story a bit, and keeps things interesting and challenging. It claims that a complete campaign (when one either loses or wins 7 games) will still only reveal about 40% of the total story line, so I expect it will remain fresh for many replays. Components are high quality. Setup is quick and the box is well-designed to keep all pieces sorted for the next game in the campaign. My only criticism is that the instructions are a bit vague on some points. That said, some common sense usually solves most issues. Well worth the investment.
