Solo Mode is a race against the clock: complete your Krown — Kraft all 9 Power Krystals — before the end of the sixth turn. Reach 9 in time and you win; fall short, and the throne stays empty.

KNOW YOUR BOARD

The clips below show the game itself; these show where everything lives on screen. Every shot is of a real game in progress.

THE GOAL

In the Gathering area you roll dice onto cards; when your dice on a card total 3 or more, you Gather that card into your hand. In the Krafting area, dice enter as Raw Krystals at value 1. By playing cards you raise their value. When a die reaches value 3 it becomes a Power Krystal on your Krown.

Solo uses the same board and components as a standard game. There are 6 Factions, each with 9 cards (3 Magic, 3 Master, 3 Menace); all Factions share the same effects — the difference between them is purely thematic.

SOLO IN THREE DIFFERENCES

• Cluster actions. One action point does up to three things — roll up to 3 dice, retrieve up to 3, allocate up to 3, or play up to 3 cards.
• Six-turn clock. The Day Stone counts turns, not Krystals. It advances one position at the end of each turn; after six turns the game ends.
• Three cards differ. Master L1, Menace L2 and Master L3 behave differently in solo — see the card list below.

THE FOUR ACTIONS (CLUSTERS)

Each turn you have 3 actions — one per cube, plus any bonus action from Master L3. Clicking an Actions tile spends one action and opens an action cluster — up to 3 acts of that one action. You cannot switch action mid-cluster: if you spend an action to play up to 3 cards and only play one, the action is still spent, so plan accordingly.

• Roll & Influence: Pick up to 3 Available Dice, roll them all at once, then place values on Gathering cards. A card whose dice total ≥3 is Gathered into your hand. A rolled 0 triggers Toxic Repel.
• Retrieve: Take back up to 3 dice from anywhere on the board. Each returns to your supply and its current value is lost.
• Allocate: Place up to 3 Available Dice into Faction zones as Raw Krystals (value 1).
• Play & Resolve: Play up to 3 cards. A card affects only dice in its matching Faction zone — the one exception is Menace L1, which moves a die between Factions. A die reaching value 3 becomes a Power Krystal.

WHAT EACH ACTION LOOKS LIKE

Choosing an action lights its tile, greys the rest, and puts the next instruction in the banner. In Solo each one opens a cluster of up to three.

ROLLING A ZERO — TOXIC REPEL

If a rolled die shows a 0, it is too toxic to place. Choose one Gathering card that has not yet been influenced and repel it: remove it to the played-cards pile (no effect triggered), then draw a fresh card into the empty slot. The die returns to your supply. If every Gathering card is already influenced, nothing happens.

THE DAY OF KRYSTALIA (SOLO)

The Day Stone is your turn counter. It starts on the top middle position and advances one position each time you finish a turn — that is, each time you spend all your Action Marker cubes. After six turns, when the Day Stone completes its loop, the game ends. Note that in solo the Day Stone does not advance when you Kraft — only at the end of each turn.

KRAFTING POWER KRYSTALS

Dice enter the Krafting area as Raw Krystals at value 1. Cards change their value; when a die reaches 3 — through one card or a sequence over several turns — it immediately becomes a Power Krystal on your Krown. Your 9th wins instantly.

Krystalia's Favour. Once you have 6 or more Power Krystals, every die you roll counts higher: a 1 counts as 2, a 2 counts as 3; 0 and 3 are unchanged. Values never exceed 3.

THE CARD TYPES

Effects are the same as the standard game, except for three cards (marked SOLO).

Strategy & Seed Difficulty

Solo Krafting Krowns is a race. Kraft 9 Power Krystals before the Day Stone completes its loop — 6 turns, 3 actions each (~18 moves). No opponents, no mercy. Just you, the deal, and the clock.

Seed Difficulty

Every game is dealt from a seed — a number that fixes your opening hand, the Gathering cards, and the deck order. Type a seed on New Game to replay a deal, or to take on a specific challenge. Difficulty comes down to one thing: how early, and how repeatably, you can assemble a scoring combo inside 6 turns.

• Forgiving seeds hand you scoring combos early and shallow — you can afford a mistake or two.
• Brutal seeds bury the cards you need deep in the deck. Every wasted action pushes the win out of reach — it's a puzzle, and it wants your full attention.

If a seed feels impossible, it may just be a hard one. Note the number, and come back sharper.

How Krafting Works

A die enters a Faction as a Raw Krystal at value 1, and becomes a Power Krystal at value 3, via a same-Faction combo:

• Magic + Master — Magic sets the die to 2, Master adds +1 → 3.
• Master + Master — two +1s: 1 → 2 → 3.

Heavy hitters: Magic L2 flips all of that Faction's dice to 2; Master L2 adds +1 to two dice at once. The pattern is always: get dice into a Faction, then apply that Faction's cards to walk them to 3.

Winning Strategies

1. Gather pairs, not half-engines. Only Influence a Magic if you can also reach that Faction's Master — and vice versa. A complete pair Krafts; a lone card Krafts nothing.
2. Watch your tempo. ~18 actions across 6 turns, every one counts. Build Faction engines early, then convert the moment an engine is complete. Don't pour actions into one thin engine while the clock burns.
3. Run the Master chain. Master L2 → L3 → L1 on two allocated dice: L2 sets both to 2, L3 finishes one (Krystal!) and grants a bonus action, L1 finishes the other (Krystal!). Two Krystals and a free action. Always spend bonus actions — never let them expire.
4. Batch your scoring. Load several dice into one Faction, then chain Magic L2 → Master L2 (→ Master L1) to Kraft multiple Krystals in a single action. One well-stacked Faction beats three half-built ones.
5. Race to Krystalia's Favour. At 6 Krystals it switches on: rolls of 1 count as 2, 2 count as 3. Now Menace L3 becomes a reliable closer. Get to 6 early — the last three Krystals come far easier.
6. Use Toxic Repel as a free draw. Roll a 0 and you must repel an uninfluenced Gathering card — which draws a fresh replacement. That's a dig, not a punishment. Fish for the pairs you're missing.
7. Never waste your last action. Keep an action in reserve to Play & Resolve so you can Kraft what you set up. Don't gather a card on the final turn if you can't use it that turn — the Day Stone won't wait.

The Krown of Krystalia goes to the player who reads the deal, not the one who rushes it. Study your seed. Then take it.
