My BGG Comment

2026. I have yet to figure out how to win this. I thought I won once but I had made a mistake. In this game you try to close off all the escape routes of the Bandida with deadends or circular routes. I have tried it a bunch and I think this is not meant to be played solo. In multiplayer there are definitely more cards in play and the rules do not forbid you from discussion as much as some other games, so my thoughts are that with maybe 3 players there are 9 cards in the hands of those players and one might say: let me handle this corner... and so make it more likely that routes can be closed through circles because there just aren't enough deadend cards and too many cards just opening new crossings. As a solo this seems incredibly difficult. In other games like One Piece Nakama the solo player gets more cards in hand to counteract this effect. I might houserule that. Or actually try multiplayer. The game is super-simple and the concept of closing of the routes is unique in my collection and rather fun--just very frustrating up to now. Rating 6/10
