I'm curious...how many games did you play solo before you made this review? Because honestly, I have played it solo about 10 times and I never felt "overwhelmed" and had to do "bookkeeping" like you said. It's very easy to manage Lacerda's turns and I can understand the AP part, but honestly, once you get your game going it flows really well. You already know in advance what Lacerda is going to do on his turn, so you can manage to counter effect his action by making yours profitable. I was able to beat Lacerda a few times at the King's Favorite level (2nd highest). It IS a tough challenge though...and winning is possible. I'm happy if I get more points than Lacerda when I play...I don't really care about the levels. I do not approve your evaluation 100% as it seems to be based on a single play of the solo variant. Maybe if it was played 5-6 times it would make for a better evaluation. Right now, I think it is a bit unfair as opposed to what the game deserves in terms of recognition as an excellent solo game!
I'm curious as well, just watched SLickdrips solo playthrough.....Lacerda's turn seems pretty simple and straight forward to me as well. Not sure why Sam finds it complicated or overly complex.
I don’t understand where you’re seeing a lot of bookkeeping in solo. Also, the Lacerta ai is extremely predictable and easy to beat after a few games. Did you play more than one time?
Thanks this was really helpful. In other games I've played solo with a simulated opponent, the randomness of how they get points or progress during the game generally frustrates me. It never feels like their moves make sense or that a real opponent would make the same choices. Do you feel like this is the case with Lisboa?
Not the case. You already know in advance what Lacerda will do on his turn. So you can always counter effect his point collecting on your own turn by planning in advance what you will do. The system is great for solo. No randomness as you know in each turn what the AI will do.
