Lost Ruins of Arnak: Solo Mini Expansions
Searching for the Lost Ruins of Arnak by yourself just got a little harder. This expansion adds two solo modules that can be used separately or together. Rival Objectives gives the Rival unique goals, while Purple Actions provides more formidable actions for the Rival. The modules are available as print-and-play cards or through the online solo app.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
When do I reveal the rival objectives, and what if the rival already completed one?
Before your first turn each round, shuffle the objective cards and reveal 3. Since the rival takes the first turn, replace any revealed objective it has already completed with a randomly drawn card; it gets no points for that earlier accomplishment (p. 1).
Do I get points for completing a rival objective first?
No. Turn that objective face down to prevent the rival from scoring it; if the rival completes it first, it scores 2 points. It can score 0, 2, 4, or 6 objective points per round (p. 1).
Does a free item count as buying an item for an objective?
Yes. An effect that gives you an item for free counts as buying one, so it can complete the Buy an Item objective. You can also complete multiple objectives in one turn (p. 1).
How do I set the difficulty for Purple Actions?
Use the 5 archaeologist cards, then add one card of each chosen red or purple action type. Each red card raises the difficulty by 1 and each purple card by 2, for a total difficulty range of 5–10 (p. 2).
What does the purple research action do in the final round?
In round V, the rival advances its magnifying glass twice, so it can gain 2 temple tiles in one turn (p. 2).
When does the rival use its notebook, and can it move past its magnifying glass?
After overcoming a guardian—or researching with its magnifying glass when no guardian is available—the rival researches with its notebook unless that would move the notebook above the magnifying glass. The notebook can remove research bonus tiles and scores notebook points at game end (p. 2).
