When the algorithm workers run out and the card is flipped over, what do Ministry AI players do when asked to hire a new algorithm - do they move a hub worker or just ignore it?
Good question! This action would be ignored using the usual rules for when an action is not possible. They would do all other actions on that space or move to the next minister card in the row. In this case, they’d just gain 2 credits. Thanks for your question and enjoy! 🙌
Thanks for your question! The official rule is that you resolve all of the AI player's actions first before doing your own. However, this is to make things simple and easy to remember. As long as you are consistent in how you play, it wouldn't be a problem to adopt the more traditional turn-taking approach. Enjoy!
Question about multiple AI players. Do the AI Players all use the same card for action resolution? Or should the card be moved along after 1 AI takes all of their turns? (I played a solo game with 2 AI players and we went with the card be moved after each AI's turn. And this lead to the 2 AI Players having VERY different strategies.)
Hi Andrew, thanks for the question and apologies for the confusion. Officially the AI players should all use the same card, but as long as you are consistent in the rule you use it shouldn't be a problem if you'd prefer to play the other way as well. Changing each time you will have more variety of opponent but might get some unusually over/underpowered opponents too.
If you're playing against multiple AI's, do they both play off the same card each round? Or does the first one play off the first card, then flip it and send it to the end of the row so there's a new card for the next AI? I'm playing the second way, and one of my AI's is never getting any new workers, because only one side of one of the cards lets them get new workers.

This is helpful. But it would be really great to have a walk through of the actual game play.
Glad to hear you found the video helpful. Will bear this in mind, thanks for your feedback ☺

So do you resolve all of an AI player(s) workers before triggering your own actions? Or do you rotate resolving actions between players?
