## What is Raiders Solo?

This is a solo variant for Raiders of the North Sea, which requires the physical board game to be played. It is also compatible with Hall of Heroes, Fields of Fame and all promo materials. This variant includes 23 scheme cards which drive the decision making process of the AI opponent.

You will always take your turn first, followed by your opponent. Your turns function just as they would in the standard game (with the exception of 1 Village location being blocked each turn). Your opponent’s turns operate differently. On their turn, reveal the top Scheme Card from the Schemes Draw Pile and follow its instructions. Your opponent will always attempt to Raid if they can. Otherwise, they will Work.

## Key features

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2023-04-09*

This app replaces the solo deck for Raiders of the North Sea. It’s easy to use and does what it’s supposed to. I’m satisfied.

### 2/5 — Needs a save game feature badly

*2021-10-26*

Not having a Save Game feature takes this from a 5-star to a 2-star for me. I like to relax & take games slow when I solo them, and it’s rare a game isn’t interrupted. No save feature seems inexplicable in a product like this. 

Really miss the physical card deck, which of course was never a problem in this regard.

### 4/5 — Good

*2021-01-02*

Played once and worked well. I’m not a hardcore gamer so I’m happy with anything that helps me play my favorite games.  This game has been on the shelf since Covid so I’ve been thinking of selling it. With this app I can play again.  The app seems skewed in its favor, but actually that is to offset your moves and other mechanics of the game.  My first game ended in a tie.  So I’m satisfied that this solo mode app will give me more challenges in the future.  It looks good, runs smooth and fast. And a huge benefit is,  the app makes the game go much quicker because you’re not having to wait for the other player to finish their move.  Thanks for this.

### 2/5 — NOT A SOLO APP...App Guide for real board game

*2020-11-27*

Any chance I can get my money back having missed the fine print that this is a companion app to the physical board game and not a solo app?

### 5/5 — Fun solo game

*2020-07-15*

This solo version to play alongside the actual board game is really fun. Played with the Hall of Heroes expansion only adds to the fun. He gets so many points on those quests!

### 5/5 — Brilliant addition to the base game

*2020-04-27, version 1.1*

Looks great, easy to use, and a super fun way of augmenting the Raiders board game to play solo.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-04-27, version 1.1*

Great app, does everything it needs to do.

### 3/5 — Technically disappointing

*2020-04-25*

Works fine if you are not interrupted. That said I’m learning the game and with no save I can’t finish a game before something happens. Even repurposed an older iPad but still no go. Would rather play to have the solo card pack.

### 1/5 — Misleading! Needs the board game.

*2020-04-22*

This doesn’t come out directly and tell you that this requires the board game to play. This is not a full digital port of the solo game, just a ‘helper’ that is used with the actual board game.

### 1/5 — Not a complete game then.

*2020-04-20, version 1.0*

Nowhere in the description does it say you need the board game to play. I figured this was a full game for solo play, not a companion app. I already have the solo set of cards for the board game, so it looks like I’ve just wasted my money. Terrific.
