Watch “I Built a Solo Opponent for Nova Luna - Free Rules + Full Teach,” a how-to-play guide for Nova Luna from TheRulebook on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by TheRulebook on YouTube:
Nova Luna is best with an opponent - so what do you do when you're playing alone? In this video I teach you BOTH ways to play Nova Luna solo: the official solo mode from the rulebook (a sharp 15-minute score-chase puzzle), and my own fan-made Automa - a full solo opponent that takes tiles off the wheel, races you on the moon track, and brings back everything the official mode leaves out.

Print it, play it, and tell me in the comments how your games go - wins, losses, edge cases, balance complaints. This is a living ruleset and your games make it better.
