SOLO VARIANT
SETUP: Setup the game normally as for a 2 player game (with 3 cards in the
display), draw 3 cards for you but give only 1 card face down to the IA (lets call
her/him/it IALULA)
GAMEPLAY - EACH TURN:
PHASE 1) Play normally and reveal your chosen card, then reveal the face down
card of IALULA. Place IALULA's played cards in a stack, leaving only the header of
each card (the number) visible.
PHASE 2) If the card that IALULA played has a bigger number than the card that
IALULA previously played, IALULA draws a Sanctuary card and keeps it aside
(IALULA ignores the information on the Sanctuary card, but each Sanctuary card
will score points for IALULA at the end of the game).Example: AILULA plays a 36
above a card 22 (that IALULA played on their previous turn). Since 36 is bigger
than 22, IALULA gains a Sanctuary card).
PHASE 3) When it's time to chose a card, proceed as normally like in a multiplayer
game, who has played the lower valued card is the first to choose. When IALULA
has to choose, follow this order:
- IALULA chooses a card with a value higher than the card IALULA has played this
turn. If several options, IALULA choses the card with value closer to the card
IALULA has played this turn. Example: IALULA has played the lowest card (23)
and is the first to choose. There are cards with values 15, a 27 and a 56. IALULA
has to choose between 27 and 56 and chooses 27 because its the closest number
to the card played this turn (23);
- If there are no cards with values higher than the card IALULA has played this turn,
IALULA choses the card with the lowest value. Example: IALULA has played the
lowest card (35) and is the first to choose. In display there are cards 3, 15 and 32.
Since there are no cards with values higher than 35, IALULA choses the lowest, in
this case card 3.
- Place the card face-down next to IALULA's stack of cards. That will be the card
that IALULA will play next turn.
END OF THE GAME: Score your points normally. Determine the score of IALULA
like this:
50 Points base score + X points for each Sanctuary card that IALULA has.
X depends of the chosen game difficulty (you must determine the difficulty at the
beggining of the game):
- Easy Mode: Each Sanctuary card scores IALULA 3 Points
- Normal Mode: Each Sanctuary card scores IALULA 6 Points
- Hard Mode: Each Sanctuary card scores IALULA 9 Points
Example: IALULA finished the game with 5 Sanctuary cards. You are playing
normal mode. IALULA score is 50 + 30 (6X5) = 80 Points.
If your score is higher than IALULA's, you win the game.
If your score is equal or lower than IALULA's, you lose the game.
