Snowdonia can also be played solitaire, for which you play a series of games using a different Train each time to see if you can beat your previous scores.

Solitaire is played in the same way as the normal game, except for the following changes.

In the solo game you will be playing a series of 7 games each with a different starting Train card, starting with No. 1 and ending with No. 7. Select the Train card for your current solo game.
