SOLO AUTOMA

A FAN-MADE EXPANSION V1.4

INTRODUCTION

A FOREWORD TO MY FELLOW SOLO GAMERS

OUTTAMA DESIGN LABS

When ‘The Witcher: Old World’ hit Kickstarter I

was beyond excited, but with no showcase of
a solo mode during the campaign, I ultimately
didn’t back it.
Once it started to ship I had remorse and
tracked down another’s copy and purchased it
second hand. I was disappointed to see that
the Solo Mode in the base game was a beat
your own score, so this unofficial mode
attempts to remedy that.
I hope you find this unofficial automa well
thought out and designed with love from one
solo gamer to another.
The goal of this automa is to replicate a two
player experience with minimal upkeep on
your part to run the automa, that will not only
challenge you but will provide a highly
enjoyable experience.

When setting up the ACTION Deck: Begin by

LVL 3 cards. Finally, shuffle the chosen LVL 1
cards and position them on top of the LVL 2 cards.
When setting up the CHALLENGE Deck: Take the
total amount of cards for the CHALLENGE deck and
shuffle them. Additionally, ensure that you have 3
unused Automa cards of LVL 3. These cards will
be earned as Trophies, so keep them nearby the
Trophy Track.

 6• Dice Poker
GAMEPLAY During a game of Dice Poker, whether against
the Automa or at a specific location, you have
two options: you can follow the solo rules
THE GOAL OF THE GAME provided in the base game, or you can utilize
the CHALLENGE Deck.

1• The goal of the Automa is identical as
yours, which is to be the first to collect
their 4th Trophy.
Note: Unlike you, the Automa can win
the game by meditating for its 4th
Trophy, if that Trophy is still available
in the supply.
GAME BASICS
1• Leveling Up
The Automa levels up in the same way you do.
However, when it levels up it doesn’t draw any
cards. But, when the Expansion Mutagens is used
it will draw the top Mutagen card (See Modules).
When playing Dice Poker against the Automa,
the bank will contribute two Gold to the pot,
as the Automa does not collect or earn gold.
In the event that the Automa wins the game of
Dice Poker, all the gold goes back to the bank.
When playing against the Automa or at a
board location, follow the standard procedure
for rolling your dice. Afterward, flip over the
top card of the Challenge Deck and examine
the bottom right section of the card. If the
CHALLENGE Card shows a superior roll, you
have the option to reroll according to the
normal rules. However, if the CHALLENGE
Deck does not display a better hand, it will flip
over ONE additional card from its CHALLENGE
Deck and use the results of that card as its
final hand. At this point, you are granted one
reroll according to the normal rules.

2• Potions (& Bombs)

Whenever the Automa would be instructed to
gain a Potion ( ) it draws the top card from the
Potions Deck and places it facedown near its
Witcher Board. It is limited to four potions and if it
were instructed to gain potions when it already
has four, it does not gain any. Bombs ( ) are
treated in a similar fashion.

3• Trophy’s and Fatigue

When the Automa moves up the Trophy Track it
never suffers fatigue. It instead takes one of the
LVL 3 cards, set aside during setup, and shuffles it
into its CHALLENGE Deck.
Note: Do NOT shuffle the

Any Trail Tokens ( ) gained by the Automa are
immediately gained to their player area as Trail
Tokens ( ) and NOT as Trail Quests. Just like you,
it may only have up to one of each terrain type.

Note: Whenever you see a ( / ) on an Automa
Card, it represent an “or”. It will try to do the

action on the right side instead.

MEDITATE/EXPLORE/FIGHT
After taking its PHASE I Actions, the Automa
will either Meditate, Explore or Fight, based
on the icons showing in the PHASE II box.
3• Fight
Before FIGHT is explained, let’s take the iconography
into account, continuing on the following page.

1• Meditate
When MEDITATE ( ) is showing in the PHASE II box,
the Automa checks to see if any of its Attributes have
reached LVL 5. IF they have, it will check the supply to
see if that Trophy is still available. If it is, it will gain
the Trophy and move up the Trophy Track.

For each movement up the Trophy Track, it will gain a

set aside LVL 3 card and shuffled into its CHALLENGE
Deck. Do not shuffle the CHALLENGE Deck Discard Pile
into it, this is only performed when the CHALLENGE
Deck is empty, or the Automa performs a FIGHT.

The majority of Automa Cards require the Automa to
fulfill a Trophy Condition before initiating a fight. In the
example above, if the Automa is present on a space
TRASH MARKET CARD(S)
with a Monster ( ) and possesses less than three
Trophies, it will engage in a fight with that particular
Monster. There are two possible Trophy Conditions:
During PHASE III the Automa will trash card(s)

example below, if the Automa is on a space with a
Monster ( ) it will initiate a fight, regardless of where
its Scoring Marker is on the Trophy Track.

Alternatively, instead of engaging in a fight with a

Monster, the Automa has the option to attempt an
attack on another Witcher, be it a human player or
another Automa. This is indicated when the Witcher
Fight ( ) symbol appears in the PHASE II box.

In the example on the right side of this page, the

 3• Witcher Specific Abilities
Some Automa cards have a special icon on them that
resolves their Special Abilities when drawn during a
fight.
When these cards are drawn during a fight, reference
their Special Ability card to see what Damage ( )
and Shield ( ) they gain and/or what other Actions it
will perform.
In this example, if the Automa was playing as a Witcher
from the School of the Wolf, it would deal three
Damage ( ) and gain two Shields ( ).
10
MONSTER’S FIGHT TURN
Just like in a two-player game you (the human player)
control the Monster when it is attacking the Automa.
You will announce either CHARGE of BITE before
drawing the card and then apply the results. Whenever
the Automa takes damage it will reduce it by the
amount of Shield ( ) remaining and will then discard
the remaining amount of cards from the top of its Life
Pool Deck. Remember to perform an effect for the
Automa when you discard a card with ( ) on it.
When you (the human player) are fighting a Monster
you can use the CHALLENGE Deck to decide whether
the Monster CHARGES or BITES you. Simply flip over a
card from the Challenge Deck whenever the monster
needs to make a decision.
END OF THE FIGHT AND THE OUTCOME
The fight ends when the Life Pool of one Witcher or
Monster is reduced to zero, then the opposing side
(with cards in their deck/hand remaining) is declared
the victor and wins the fight.
If the Automa is the attacker and plays its last card but
deals enough damage to take out its opponent, then
the Automa is declared the victor.
 MONSTER FIGHT OUTCOME
Outcomes are the same as described in the base game
rules. The only exceptions are that the Automa never
earns/collects any gold from a fight and it never adds
a 0 cost Action Card from the market to its CHALLENGE

MONSTERS ABILITY CHANGES
The Automa ignores the Monster abilities for the
following Monsters in order to make it compatible with

•1 Mutagens
Whenever the Automa levels up it draws the top
card of the Mutagen deck and places it faceup near
its player area.
The Automa is allowed to have more than one card
of the same color Mutagen.
During a fight, whenever the Automa plays a
Combo, check to see which Mutagens are present
on the card drawn. If the Automa has any faceup
Mutagen cards matching the colors on the Combo,
it will flip them facedown for the remainder of the
fight and will apply the effect on its Witcher
Special Ability card.
In the example below, instead of generating two
Damage ( ) and two Shields ( ), if the School
of the Viper Automa had an unflipped RED and
GREEN Mutagen card, it would flip both facedown
and gain an ADDITIONAL 3 Damage ( ).

• Monster Weakness Tokens
Whenever the Automa would move trough/land on a
location with a Monster Weakness Token on it, they are
added to its Witcher board..
At the start of a fight when creating the Monster Life
Pool Deck, for every Weakness Token the Automa has
that matches the terrain of the Monster it is fighting, the
Monster LOSES ONE card from its Life Pool Deck.
Weakness Tokens are returned to the supply after a
fight unless the Monster, wasn’t driven away. Likewise, if
you defeat a Monster and the Automa has it Weakness
Token, it is returned to the supply.
• Lost Mount
3
Whenever the Automa’s last movement point places it
on the location with the Lost Mount, the Lost Mount will
move per instructions on the card. You select the terrain
type and location from the two tokens drawn. It will not
draw additional cards like you would.
• Ciri / School of the Manticore
4
Ciri and the School of the Manticore have their own
Witcher Special Ability card and can be used as an
Automa.
5• Advanced Action and Witcher Unique
Action Cards
The Automa does not interact with the Action Cards and
the Unique cards do not interact with the Automa. So
they can be incorporated.

The Bombs module is built into the Automa cards. If not
using this expansion, ignore any iconography referring
Bombs when resolving Automa Cards.

See the chart on the page 15 to see the changes to the
Monster Special/Passive attacks. If the monster isn’t
listed on the chart, there are no changes to its abilities.
SKELLIGE EXPANSION
1• Setup Changes
Mix the three new LVL 3 Skellige Generic
Witcher Cards with the six original LVL 3
Generic Witcher Cards from the base game.
Randomly select three cards from this
combined set and return them to the box
without looking. Repeat this same process for
both the LVL 2 and LVL 1 Generic Witcher
Cards. By the end of this process, you should
have returned a total of nine Generic Witcher
Cards to the box. Follow the instructions on
page 4 of the Automa Rulebook for setting up
the ACTION and CHALLENGE Deck.
The Automa will never fight Dagon as it doesn’t award
a Trophy and the Automa is highly focused on beating
you to get the 4th trophy.
There is a chance that the Automa will bring new
locations into play from the Skellige Event Deck, but it
will never visit them.

Additionally, when the Automa moves towards

fewest spaces possible to reach it.

When sailing from an Island back to the

Continent, the Automa heads to the nearest
unoccupied Harbor with a boat, closest to its
desired Destination. The Automa's travel to an
Island is always SAFE, though some cards may
not cause Dagon to advance on the Danger

with the Legendary Monster, provided
that the Automa is in the same space
as the Legendary Monster.
•2 Gameplay Changes
The Automa follows the same rules as outlined in the Legendary Hunt rulebook. If the Automa
finishes PHASE 1 on a space that has a Destruction token, it collects that token to use in the battle
against the Legendary Monster. However, the Automa doesn't receive the usual benefits described on
the back of the token. Instead, for each token the Automa has, the Legendary Monster starts with one
health less. When setting up the Life Pool for a Legendary Monster, reduce the number of cards
added to the pool by the number of Destruction tokens present on the Automa's Witcher Board. Each
Destruction token means one less card in the Legendary Monster's Life Pool Deck.

If the Automa loses the fight against the Legendary Monster, instead of losing any Destruction tokens,
it keeps the Destruction tokens on their Witcher Board AND it will also draw ONE from the Destruction
token pool.

* The Automa’s movement towards a Legendary Monster adheres to the rules outlined on page 6.
