• Before starting the game you must choose an improvement of your choice: Dial or Switch. Therefore, you must use the Seaplane Card on the side that does not show an Initial Improvement.

The Solo game takes around 1 hour.

It works exactly the same as the game for 2 to 4 players, with the following additions:

Setup

• Shuffle the Action cards. For an imaginary opponent, turn over cards until there are exactly 2 Market stalls, 2 Regular customers and 2 Casual customers.

  Fill the Market stalls with the required vegetables. These cards give the Market woman, Trader, Deliveryman and Tout an opportunity for interaction.

  Any additional cards that are turned over are placed in the Discard pile.

• Before the Solo player sows his Home field, 12 Action cards are turned over, and placed in a grid of 4 rows and 3 columns. Cards will be bought from this grid during the Card phase. …
