Placing the tiles in a strategic way would be nice, but the rules as written don't allow that.  You have to choose the direction you're moving out of the current tile, then you pick one at random and place it.  Thematically, you're exploring the room as you enter it, not looking down the hallways to see what is there first before deciding which way to go.

I tried the solo game for the first time last night. I didn't record everything that happened, so I can't give you a play-by-play report. I'll just sum up.

I randomly selected Hugo with a rune to cancel a trap.

I found an early passage to the catacombs and used it. Down there, I wound up getting smacked around a bit by a demon. Other than that my luck was pretty good. I popped back to the surface just a few spaces away from the treasure room. At this point, I lost three turns trying to pass a cave-in.

I looted the treasure room twice, and walked away with a flying carpet, a scarab thing, a loadstone, and a ring of some sort. I was feeling good about myself.

I left the treasure room, and my torch went out... for another three turns. Then I was attacked by a golem, and nearly killed. As I stumbled weakly toward the nearest exit, I stumbled across a few gold coins, and then my torch went out again.

I was still lost in the dark when the sun came up.

 I played a solo game for the first time last night(first game actually)

got into the dungeon pretty deep with Hugo  but kept getting shunted away from the catacombs with noi monsters...must not have shuffled well because I got alot of empty rooms and a couple of crypts and dead bodies.

im almost at the point where I  turn around to leave before I am trapped when I run into a curse that rotates all the dungeon tiles.......that about did it for Hugo and after scrabbling around for a passage out ended up in a rotatin room that rotated me into a dead end room....I played it so that I could enter and leave the room and search every couple turns buit never found an exit until lights out. about to do it again...I bought this game so I would have something to play when no one else wanted to :P

great game though and playing again soon with a random hero.

Is there a card that causes ALL tiles to rotate? I once pulled some curse that rotated all 'corridor' tiles. That was kind of cool.
But would rotating all tiles (rooms and corridors, etc) work ?
