Archipelago: Solo Expansion

About this expansion

Archipelago: Solo Expansion is a one-player expansion for the Archipelago base game, with a listed playing time of 60 minutes. It lets a single player compete against the game system across a varied collection of solo challenges.

The expansion includes 27 scenarios, each presenting different conditions and objectives. Rather than following one fixed campaign, you can approach a range of distinct situations, with the scenario determining what you must achieve and how your performance is judged.

In each scenario, you take the part of a notable character. Possible roles include Christopher Columbus, Robinson Crusoe, and the pirate Bluebeard, giving the solo experience a changing perspective from one challenge to the next.

• Designed for exactly one player
• 27 scenarios with different conditions and objectives
• Scenario play times ranging from 20 to 90 minutes
• Performance levels of gold, silver, bronze, or revolt

Your result will often depend on how many rounds it takes to complete the objective, if you manage to complete it at all. This creates a clear measure of success for each attempt, encouraging you to pursue stronger results across the scenarios.

Released in 2012, Archipelago: Solo Expansion offers a dedicated way to experience the Archipelago base game alone. With its different characters, objectives, and possible outcomes, it provides a flexible solo format whose length varies by scenario.
