Sounds like a pretty great month of solo gaming! I only played a few solo games in August, but found a new favorite with Fantastic Factories. The solo mode was a lot of fun, and you can scale it to be more challenging (or less) as you like, which is nice. I'll definitely be playing more of that one.

you're intriguing me with Tenpenny Park, it sounds attractive. I haven't played Cartographers for a long time (I scored 36 pts... once!). I one of those who make drawings on the map with coloured pencils, yes, you should try it's a big fun! But your game will last an hour at least! ☺ Floriferous is unavailable here in France, I'm very disappointed, I like Herbaceous so much! A funny little filler game! Cascadia is definitely a best among the bests. I have to play Calico again as well, I love those kittens! Speaking of cats -10 at home at the moment! a wild mother made her babies in front of me in August! It was so moving, my heart melted... but now I have to find families to adopt them! I know that some of them will stay here with me and Hecate, my 1st she-cat, among them: Meeple, Maverick, Meï-Meï ("little sister" in Chinese) and Everdell! Tricky situation!!! - Well I already told that (I'm an old woman, I tend to repeat things ha ha!) and in fact I wanted to say that I still haven't tried The Isle of Cat. It's strange, this game doesn't appeal me, I don't know why: apparently, I seem to love cats, and I enjoy puzzle games....🤔(but I believe I already wrote that in a previous comment......) sorry for the drivel! ^^ Now I'm taking Red Rising from the shelf, this excellent game needs to be played again! thank you Jenna!

I really need to get Hadrina's Wall into the collection. I finally got Sagrada yesterday and can't wait to table it. Glad to hear the solo variant is also fun. I have had my eyes on Santa Monica since I got into the hobby but haven't added it to the collection. I love Lost Ruins of Arnak. It's one I actually wouldn't mind getting the expansion for. I'm not really a expansion type of gal. Cascadia is such a relaxing, fun solo puzzle. I honestly didn't think I was going to love it as much solo, I don't know why. My solo games were: Lost Ruins of Arnak, Casadia, Marvel United, Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition, Long Shot: The Dice Game, Scythe, Ark Nova, Friday, Marvel Champions, Rolling Realms, Arkham Horror: The Card Game, Wingspan & Tiny Towns.

Nice little ones. I like Cascadia and Isle of cats but haven't already tried those solo yet. You should defenatly give a try to : Warp's Edge, and Under Falling Skies ! Those "space themed" game are great for solo ! As for now i'm giving some shots at Daimyo ! Really hard, but it gets a quite nice automa. I also recently try the solo expansion for Raiders of the north seas, it was quite sweet. And both of those got automa that are so easy to manage. I Also recently discovered and love : Sprawpolis and predators island ! Those 2 micro game are great for solo ! Then i give a go to Castellion and it's ok, nice little puzzly Oniverse game. Cheers

I wonder if you forgot to subtract points for the stars on the goal cards in Cartographers. 50+ is an extremely good score if you did. Most of my solo games hit right around the 30 mark. People's first solo games of Cartographers are often in the negatives because you subtract points in the solo mode.
