More the latter, there are no specific solitaire-friendly properties 
beyond the fact that there is no fog of war. In fact while one could think 
that the random victory condition determination would make it more solo 
friendly, I'm not sure that that is the case.  It is probably easier to 
come up with a sensible strategy in the face of the considerable 
divergence between possible future options if you only have to make such 
plans for one side.
