Questions and answers
Bargain Quest: Solo Mode supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Bargain Quest: Solo Mode is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Bargain Quest: Solo Mode for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Bargain Quest: Solo Mode has a complexity rating of 2.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Bargain Quest: Solo Mode belongs to these categories: Card Game, Fantasy, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Auction / Bidding, and Solo / Solitaire Game. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns.

The credited designers of Bargain Quest: Solo Mode are: Jonathan Ying and Mark Larson.

The catalogue lists Bargain Quest: Solo Mode as an expansion for Bargain Quest. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Bargain Quest to use it. Check that your edition of Bargain Quest is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
