FAQ

This is a classical roll&write. Any chance of adding a proper solo mode?

As a publisher, we have to adhere to certain time frames when developing a game: Translation dates, print slots, logistics and trade fairs.

High Season was scheduled for publication at SPIEL 2023. Of course, we would have liked to present the game to you with a solo mode - especially for a roll&write.

However, developing a good idea takes time and many, many test games. At the time of going to press, there were no mature ideas for a solo mode. The editorial team and designers are working on a nice solo variant.

Stay tuned!
