Mage Knight is known as one of the best board game to play solo and I must say its true. You have to explore and conquer different point of interest depending of the campaign you chose to do. You have to magane your deck of power and action. There is a possibility to recruits mercenaries and scavenges ressources. Everything you do have an impact thru the game and that's what make the game interesting. It is possible to play solo or in coop to complete scenarios. There is also a competitive mode where you have to be the first to complete objectives while hindering the opponents.



The ultimate edition add a lot of new possibilities. I would recommend to watch few "how to play" on youtube to see exactly how some rule applies. For a new player perspective, the amount of rules can be scary at first glance but they can be simple to follow. For the first game I would suggest to not add any expension to get used to the basic rules first. The more you will play and more you will be able to add expansions modules.
