I won't go as far as saying you should buy this game just for solo play with the "Automa" system, but it is definitely a perk to have. It provides a cool way to learn the game and with all the variants available by the publisher online it adds variety for those who can't get a group over for a game night but still want some board games. I haven't tried all the way up to 4 Automas at once but can confirm that it is challenging and adds to an already great game. For me a big part of board games are the friends you play with so excluding the social part lacking Scythe's solo play, or Automa as they call it, is the most in depth and worth while solo variant I have spent time with. (I've only owned two games with such variants and seriously spent time with one of them)

Best board game I've played so far

I really wanted to find out what all the fuss was about. But the really long rules and how complicated the whole game seemed put me off trying it out. When we finally did it, just... wow. I can imagine playing this over and over because there's so many strategies you can make to win.

日本語版が定価で購入できなかったので

日本語版が定価で購入できなかったので、こちらの英語版を買いました。訳はウェブ上で公開されていますし、１万円と少しでこれほど豪華なコンポーネントのゲームが手に入り満足しています。日本のボードゲームも近年は素晴らしいものが沢山出ていますが、クラウドファンディングでのマニアックで作りこみの深いゲームはアメリカが別格だと思います。
