Ever had those days when you want to dive into the complexity of Brazil: Imperial, but no one is available to play, or you just want to ramp up the tension at the table? That's where the Autômato comes in. This module isn't just a 'gap filler'; it's a relentless adversary that simulates the intelligence of a national leader, forcing you to refine every strategy to avoid being overwhelmed.
The Autômato transforms the game dynamics by introducing an opponent who doesn't accept bribes, makes no deals, and shows no mercy. It's perfect for those seeking the ultimate solo experience or for groups of 2 to 3 players who feel that 'extra spice' of conflict is missing from the map. With the addition of 21 new cards, the module ensures that the simulation is fluid and unpredictable, mimicking human decision-making without the need for a game master or overly complex AI rules.
Whether you're expanding borders, managing industry, or fighting for territorial control, having an artificial player at the table changes your perception of risk. You no longer have to worry about diplomacy — here, the only thing that matters is your ability to overcome a system designed to win. It's the ideal tool for testing your tactics before heading into total war with your friends, or simply for dominating the Empire alone on a historical immersion afternoon.

Do I need the base game to use the Autômato?
Yes, this is an expansion module. You need all the components and rules of Brazil: Imperial to play.
Is the Autômato hard to operate?
Not at all! It's designed to be fluid, using cards to dictate actions, ensuring the 'bot' management doesn't slow down the game.
Can I use the Autômato in games with other humans?
Absolutely. You can add it to 2 or 3 player games to fill the map and increase the competitiveness.
Does the game become more complex with it?
The strategic complexity increases because you have an enemy who doesn't negotiate, but the rule complexity remains low.
Who is this module recommended for?
Expert players who enjoy civilization games and want the convenience of playing solo or with fewer people.
