Or when your gaming partner consistently beats you? Don't worry, we've got the solution! This mini-expansion, created by Repos Production, introduces a highly charismatic solo mode where you face one of the 5 available Leaders. The gameplay is super straightforward: choose or randomly draw your opponent Leader and, each turn, flip one of the 12 Decision Cards. The Leader will act according to the card, building whatever it indicates, even if they lack the resources – after all, they are the Leader, right? And be prepared, because sometimes they might even play twice in a row! Each Decision Card has its priorities and can even trigger an extra round. It sounds simple, and the rules indeed are, but the strategy to defeat this virtual adversary requires adaptation and clever play. Forget those generic 'point factory' solo modes; here, you truly need to strategize how to handle your opponent's moves. It's the perfect dose of 7 Wonders Duel for when you're playing alone but don't want to miss out on the fun. ## How to Play Objective of the Game Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre esta seção.
