This deck of 30 cards will allow you to enjoy After the Empire when no one else is around.
Can you get the necessary resources and recruits to build up your castle and keep it defended from the ever increasing defenders?
Wasn't sure a 30-card deck could really replace a table full of opponents, but the solo AI actually pressures your castle defense in a way that keeps every turn tense. I've played it four nights this week and still haven't beaten the hardest recruit combo.
Finally a way to test my castle defense strategies late at night when the table's empty. The card prompts push you to make tough calls on resource allocation that feel just as tense as a full game. Setup took under five minutes and the replay value is solid.
The 30-card deck slots right into the base game and takes maybe two minutes to set up, which is perfect for a quick weeknight session. I've played three times now and the AI opponent's decisions feel genuinely tense, even if I know the card order after a few runs.
