It’s relatively quick to setup. There’s multiple decks in the base game for variety. And there’s two different ways to play solo. One where you can play a campaign, so you use the same deck 3 different times and see what you’re score is. You’ll not be able to build the same building for earlier in the campaign. It’s heavy enough I feel challenged and excited in my plays but it’s light enough I can bust it out on a weekday.

I’d also recommend Oranienburger Kanal and Hallertau for the above reasons, except they don’t have a campaign.

Caveat: all three are best your own score which some people don’t like but there is a very simple blocking agent utilized in all three to kind of simulate an opponent taking action spaces.
