Or, more generally, games I cana) play solo
b) have resource management
c) have random events
The random events part is the one eluding me the most.
I have a few resource management games, like Stone Age, Puerto Rico and Cuba, which have some randomness, but not nearly enough to make the solo game captivating beyond a play or two (for me, at least). Agricola just won't cut it either. I have Pandemic, which is interesting solo, but not enough resource management.
I prefer there being a serious threat of complete failure, as opposed to trying to maximize points.
Games that have scratched this itch:
Friday (great, but a little light, with no resources)
Space Alert (awesome, but i want something not timed occasionally. And with resources)
Through the Ages - barbarian solo variant (solid, but too long sometimes)
While I eagerly await the release of Robinson Crusoe in my area, what other games fit my description?
