The Cousins' War: Solo Expansion

The Cousins' War Solo expansion enables you to play The Cousins’ War against an automated opponent, BoT. Your opponent is named after John Wenlock, 1st Baron Wenlock, a notorious turncoat, therefore called Baron of Turncoats or BoT.

As a player, you pick a difficulty from Beginner, Standard, Advanced or Brutal. Then, you play the game as normal. You win the Solo game in the same way as the base game.

Here is a summary of the differences between how BoT plays compared to you, the player.

BoT...

◆ never uses its Action card for the Events on it.

◆ plays Actions from its Decision card.

◆ plays a number of Actions (1 to 3) by difficulty level.

◆ uses its Action card CPs for the strength of its Actions.

◆ uses your Action card to see if it has a Secondary Action...

◆ ...but uses its Decision card and a dice roll to decide what the Secondary Action is.

◆ uses printed dice on its Decision card instead of combat dice for its declaration when Active player.

◆ rolls dice to decide whether or not to challenge, and then combat dice as normal.

◆ doesn't use its CPs for nudging dice in combat (rerolls instead).
