Following my review of San Juan, a couple of you wanted to see exactly how to run the solo mode. Today I’m walking you through "The Hand"—my personal best community-created variants for playing this classic card game solo.

In this video, we cover: The Setup: How to prepare the deck and role cards for solo play. The AI Mechanics: How "The Hand" functions and how it challenges your building strategy. A Quick Turn Walkthrough: A clear look at role selection, building costs, and resource management when playing against the variant. Scoring: How to determine if your city truly thrived. Whether you've just picked up a copy of the second edition or you’ve had this "Tiny Gem" on your shelf for years, this guide will get you playing solo in no time.
