Solo play possible?

By zeb, in CoC General Discussion

Hi,

I am interested in this game. Are there also solo rules available ?

Thanks.

It is like drinking to a mirror :)

Quite a while back developing solo rules was considered.

If I remember correctly the verdict at that time was that

it's not possible to come up with a worthwhile solo game

for Call of Cthuhu. I would love for someone to prove that

decision as premature! Of course 'worthwhile' is a very

relative term.

There have been efforts. I don't recall them. None were really embraced. I think you'd have to play two decks, which sounds cool actually. No surprise moves, but an honest way to check your decks.

this is exactly what i do. gives me a sense of a deck before i play it against others. the other players have said before im pretty good with building new decks, but i keep telling them they arent really new by the time they played them. ive already done a good deal of seeing how the deck will do. any deck that completely bombs i tear down and start again. i usually play new decks against 3 of my other decks. but yeah there are no surprises so i try to play as fair/straightforward as possible.
