Watch “First Impressions of Orichalcum - Solo Board Game,” a board game review for Orichalcum from Tabletop For One on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Tabletop For One on YouTube:
In this video, I offer my first impressions of the official solo variant of Orichalcum by Bruno Cathala and Johannes Goupy and by Pandasaurus Games. In Orichalcum, you are tasked with finding a new island for the refugee Atlanteans to inhabit. Unfortunately, there are volcanoes and monsters on the island. Clear the Island and gain 5 points, and you win the game. In the solo print & play mode, you face off against a challenging AI.
Disclaimer: I received a review copy from Pandasaurus to produce a tutorial solo playthrough video. My opinions are my own.

About Orichalcum, from BoardGameGeek:
Orichalque is a tense and fast-pace strategy game – similar to a short 4X. Each player has their own Island board to explore and develop. On each turn, they choose a set of one Exploration tile and one Action : recruit hoplites, produce precious orichalcum (a legendary metal from Greek mythology), construct buildings granting powerful bonuses, or try to get rid of Monsters infesting your island (and preventing you to build new building).
To prevail, you will need to erect majestic temples, forge orichalcum tokens or win the favors of titans (by creating areas of their favorite landscapes. The first to get to 5 victory points while clearing their Island of all Monsters wins the game.
