How would you play this board game as a single player?

Your opponent is the game, not a person. You can control one or more characters by yourself to complete adventures(missions).

I would have to say it varies from game to game. The board constantly changes and you have to find your cards. We have played some quick 10-15 minute sessions and longer ones as well. It is a fun puzzle strategy type game.

I'm not sure what the policy is regarding opened board games. If you opened it though, the language wouldn't really matter. You would be returning it because you didn't enjoy the gameplay. The game itself is language independent. There are only numbers and one symbol on the dice, and simple symbols on the cards. The characters have no special abilities whatsoever. The only reason you would reference the rulebook would be if you wanted to play a 2 player version of this game. If there are only two players, I highly recommend you play a different game. The symbols include arrows, food, coins, and cannons. I may be missing one or two. The only text on the board that I can recall is Port Royal, which is the starting position. This is a great game and I highly recommend it. If you open it and the rules are in french, watch a youtube video tutorial. Except for very rare technicalities, once you play through it once you'll never need the rulebook again.

There are some variant rules you can play which allow you to run Descent solo. Here's one such: http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/67916/descent-solo-v30-automated-overlord

4-5 players works best. The card positions are the "playing board" - you play off the cards that are dealt to you. If you are familiar with solitare, you can understand this game. It does require some luck and strategy to be the winner.

Both good questions that we also are stumped by...very poor directions! We played with just one deck of cards and no jokers with four people....maybe if you were playing with more people you would use both decks?!

The minimum is 1. You can play solo! The instructions for 1 player game comes in the box. The maximum is 4.

It is possible. The instructions include directions for an "expert" variant for 2 players. The instructions recommend that you play a few times with 3-7 players before trying the 2 player version. I haven't tried it with 2 players, so I have no idea how it compares to the normal 3-7 player game.

That is not how the game is designed, but you could have a split personality to play multiple characters. It is not really a co-operative game, as the encounters involve only a single player in a location at a time. It plays fine with 2 players. Dave Boardgames4us

This game would be perfect. I like to play it alone or against someone else. One simply has to make the 9 (cubes) puzzle pieces match the image shown on the flipped over card. My young niece (5 -ish) likes to play Q-bitz because she can race or take her time when she is playing alone. We love having the game around, even something to do while watching TV.

Sure. It's not as enjoyable as with more players. But two would be fine. (You could actually do it as solitaire, I would think. See how many turns it takes you until you get to X number. Then, try to do it in fewer turns.) But it's really a social game, and as such, more people = more fun.

I found this post at Board Game Geek to be particularly insightful and would probably follow his guide.http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/592228/so-im-considering-getting-into-agot-lcg-your-compr

I'd say if the child can play Monopoly independently, he/she can play this. It's a fantastic strategy game, and no two games are alike.

Bog box is great, but I playa lot of board games with folks. After playing quite a bit of Dominion, I can say that you would be happy with the regular game. Loads of fun with a ton of replay value without needing the expansions.

This is only a two player game, as it requires that you don't know how the other board is set up. Outwitting oneself is rather easy.

Yes. I would get 2 decks. It's such a fast game only 2 people can play at a time.

I'm not entirely sure as it's going to be a Christmas gift for a Grandson. I looks as if it's for one person. I thinks it could easily be turned into a multiple person game by setting a timer or something. Hope this helps.
