Depends on your group
- Our take
- Punchboard (2021, on the 2019 edition) calls the solo mode 'a really fun, engaging puzzle, far more entertaining and worth playing than some of the beat-your-own-score variants', but says it is tough and that it is a puzzle rather than an Automa-style opponent. A solo buyer should look at the Special Edition's Châteauma bot instead (Punchboard says it has three difficulty levels and can also add a third player).
