Mandala Solo Playthrough - Meeple Overboard

Chris takes you through the rules for a solo game of Mandala. These rules were apparently published in the German printing but not the English rulebook, so the file on BoardGameGeek can be found here: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/19...
Knock yourselves out, and stay healthy!

Hi Chris, great to see someone playing Mandala solo like me. But you make two important mistakes:
1. If you draw a card (colour) that is already represented in the mountain, you don´t dicard that card. You put it to the same card (colour) into the mountain of that Mandala!
2. If the first card that the Automa draws is the sixth card (colour) in a Mandala, then the Automa puts it into the mountain, when A) he is in front and the number of cards (colours) in the mountain is straight or B) he is not in front and the number of cards in the mountain is odd-numbered.

I didn’t know there was a solo variant for this game. Cool thanks for the play through.

I didn’t either. I own the game so I wonder if these solo rules are official or created by BGG or somethin..
Love this game!

[@worldrecipeoflife3806]

is it even possible to win?

[@MeepleOverboard]

Haven't won yet, but I think I need to be approaching it more "defensively" so to speak, then optimising which cards I grab. Pretty hard stuff.

To be honest? I played 10 matches against the "mandalorian". I lost all of them. My best result: One ponit less than "mandalorian" ....
