Thanks for sharing your experiences! I’m looking forward to the scenarios with objectives, too. Definitely trying that mode soon and I’ll be back to share some more thoughts. Also, congratulations on your victory!

Using 2 characters seems like a lot of fun, too. Although I do like the feeling of a larger group, I can understand the desire to keep things simple! There’s enough to track with watching how the water cubes might trickle through.

Best of luck when you try out some harder options!

I recently acquired it and have played 3 solo games so far (always with only 2 characters; any more would be too brain-burning to keep track of everyone). In any case, I enjoy it! I like the blue cubes, I like the strategy of using pumps, keeping some dikes open, and making sure I not only focus on building the structures, but also keep the water cube supply high enough so that there are enough cubes if needed. I won on my 3rd try, and what a feeling of victory and satisfaction! I’m definitely going to go back and try at harder levels, and then the scenarios.

I enjoyed reading your blog post, thanks for the write-up!
