About the game
Solo mode for Anno 1800 - The Board Game by Martin Wallace. The player can either play 10 missions of the campaign, which tell a coherent story and thus face new challenges again and again. In addition to the campaign, there are general solo rules that can be used to play an (almost) normal Anno 1800 game in order to hunt for high scores! —description from the publisher (translated)

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Anno 1800: Der Solo-Modus for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
