    An amazing speculative eurogame that can be played solo

    An amazing speculative eurogame that can be played solo
    Mars was successfully terraformed on my last turn - what a relief! Around turns 8 or 9, I couldn't have imagined reaching the goal by turn 12, but I'm so glad I persisted. The exponential growth in the final phase of an engine-building game is always a thrill.For an exceptional solo experience, I highly recommend the Prelude expansion.The rules are straightforward and easy to grasp in your first session. With its high replayability, the game stands out as a true gem. It offers a fantastic combination of Eurogame mechanics for those seeking a strategic challenge: resource management, economic engine building, hand management, and variable player powers, all seamlessly integrated into a cohesive and engaging experience. A masterpiece of game design.
