Origin Story

General Rules in a Solo game

menu

In this solo mode, you play against 2 Vancardians (artificial opponents), Automaton and Factoryon, who each take the place of a human player.

• You play by the normal game rules, but the Vancardians are renegades who often do as they please.

• All core game rules not explicitly overridden in this rulebook are still in effect. So, for example, love is the default trump suit.

• The Vancardians are considered players in the game.

The Vancardians always choose the hero alignment.

• Many rules use criteria to select a playing card from a Vancardian’s hand. If there are multiple valid options, she chooses the leftmost one.

• When a rule refers to HIGHEST or LOWEST cards, it refers solely to the values of the cards (including any adjustments), so suits don’t matter. E.g., 5 is lower than 7.

• The hands of all 3 players will be placed in face-up rows; you’ll be able to see the Vancardians’ playing cards.

• If you draw a story or superhero card with a , remove it from the game and draw a replacement.

No peeking: You may not look through the playing card discard pile or previous tricks.
