Have you played solo scenario 1? Post your score in the comments!

[@stevemyers8588]

Thanks Liz! Love the comments regarding the Pacific Northwest. Been out there once. As an Easterner, agree that country is beautiful! Regarding the solo game, I believe my score for scenario 1 was around 84-85 (did not save it). But what I really wanted to comment on is that I love your idea for downloading the scoresheet, enlarging it, and especially laminating it!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I played about half a dozen games of this last Friday! I’m obsessed. I am now on solo scenario 5

[@bitsandbiology]

Scenario 5 was much more challenging than the first four! It took me three tries to get through scenario 5!😆

[@JSkyF]

@@bitsandbiology I just played #5 twice and didn’t make it. I got the 3 fox scored on the 2nd attempt but my score was only 75. I need to plan better.

[@JSkyF]

I think my highest score for scenario 1 was 83 and then I moved on to scenario 2.

Are solo scores usually lower? I have never played solo, and only recently bought the game because a few of my friends have it already, so I only have one page used in the score pad. It shows that I came in third (last) with a score of 83. The winner had 100.

[@bitsandbiology]

I'm not sure if solo scores are generally lower. It's possible because of how the tiles cycle and the fact that you see fewer tiles overall. However, it may have more to do with which wildlife scoring cards are used. This is an interesting question! I will be paying more attention from now on, and hope others will comment as well. 🙂
I hope you are enjoying the game!
