and finally a couple of solo games which use VP but are well worth a look.
A feast for Odin.
This is a nightmare of complexity to look at when you first pick it up and I set it up and immediately reboxed it about 3 times before finally attempting my first game. but it's actually quite streamlined and worth the effort to learn.
using worker placement you gather resources through an insane amount of actions to collect tiles to place on your player board to score points and gain resource bonuses.
there are a hundred strategies to try and each has its own strengths and weaknesses.
plays fantastically well solo after the initial steep learning curve and has pretty decent references to help with the inevitable edge case questions that will pop up from time to time.
best played with the Norwegians expansion rolled in but it's quite hard to find it in stock.
Isle of Cats
This is a card drafting, tile laying game that has a great solo ai and plays amazingly well with a group.
the gist is a big bad is coming to the island and all the cats are in danger, for some reason they've all jumped into the sea and you need to spend the coming days rescuing as many as you can and putting them on your boat to score points with a whole range of bonuses and points combos for placing them in certain ways.
on face value it's quite basic but it will get you thinking. definitely worth a look if you want something you can play with a mixed group as well (it even has a simplified family mode too).
