Is this a legacy type game? Once you figure out all of the 14 chapters, is there any replay value?

It is similar to legacy style games in that the rules can change, etc. But you do not destroy anything or change anything, so others could play it. It also has additional content after the 14 main missions. There is still gameplay left.

Does this game require a computer or smartphone in order to play it?

No it doesn’t. All the components required to play are in the box and the game is completely non-electronic.

Can i play this by myself

Yes. (Though we didn't find it very interesting to play.)

Can a poster more clearly address replayabilty.?TY

With the same group, after completing the campaign? None. But with some "repackaging" another group could play the same copy and have the same experience. We are 13 weekends into playing the campaign (4 players) and we will have a couple Chapters (sessions) left to go. There are 24 (?) puzzles that are not part of the campaign that can be done afterwards. So there's a lot of meat on the bone here!
