Solo play support / 1 player games

What's your idea / feature request?
Support Everdell's solo mode against Rugwort.
Describe the solution you'd like
- There should be some kind of UI that allows setup of a solo game.
- Rugwort's difficulty must be selectable (year 1, 2 or 3).
- As I don't own Pearlbrook, I don't know how it supports solo play vs. Rugwort, but consider adding that too.
- The in-game UI needs minor modification, because Rugwort can take turns quickly on a die roll and player turns can happen in quick succession too, whereas normal multiplayer play is clearly asynchronous and interrupted by opponent turns. Consider adding delays, UI indicators for Rugwort's turns or animations so that the player can follow what is happening.
Additional context
Note that there are solo rule variants, because the Everdell's solo rules from the rulebook result in a different game than the multiplayer experience. I can recommend Everdell Unrigged, which successfully mitigates some of the issues with the default solo game.
Seconding this!!
Since you revived this issue, I'll leave another comment that extends it. Possibly for another issue, though. It'd be awesome if content from the Mistwood expansion is also supported. The automatic player in that expansion, Nightweave, is excellent and a huge step up in quality compared to playing against Rugwort. Nightweave can be played against solo or as the third automatic player added to a two-player game.
