Karvi: Solo is an expansion for Karvi released in 2024 for 1 player and 120–150 minutes per game. It was designed by Torgeir Tjong and its main mechanics are Track Movement, Worker Placement with Dice Workers, and Turn Order: Time Track.
With these solo rules you can play Karvi alone in two different ways using the same core mechanic. Both variants let you play the game using the normal rules, but against a simplified opponent. Neither variant requires any additional components. The Highscore Mode is a beat-your-own-score for you to learn the game and improve your score. It uses simple rules where the opponent blocks spots and removes some cards and tiles. The Battle against the Völva adds some opponent rules and is intended to give you a challenge where you have to beat the opponent‘s score. —description from the publisher
Karvi: Solo 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 Karvi: Solo is 120–150 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.
Karvi: Solo belongs to these categories: Dice, Exploration, and Adventure. Its main mechanics are Track Movement, Worker Placement with Dice Workers, and Turn Order: Time Track. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Karvi: Solo are: Torgeir Tjong. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Karvi: Solo as an expansion for Karvi. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Karvi to use it. Check that your edition of Karvi is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
