Favorite lightweight solos

It's been a long day, setting up Nemo's War or Mage Knight feels like way too much hassle. What do you reach for?

Some of my picks:

For Northwood was a really pleasant surprise. I love tricktaking and it's amazing how well this game make that work for solo. The hand-evaluation part before each "conversation" is a really cool mechanic too.
Orchard is so easy to get on the table. And you get two plays for a single shuffle. I like the laser-focus on the single goal, great when my mind is not up for something more complicated
After the Virus is a cool little solo deckbuilder. Only getting started with this one but really enjoying it so far
Buttonshy stuff is always good. Rove, Ragemore, Food Chain Island, Skulls of Sedlec, Spaceshipped are some of my favorites. Oh and Sprawlopolis of course.

@donio @soloboardgaming I enjoy Maquis, Black Sonata and there is a print and play card game called Birdscaping that is really good! Haven't tried Wingspan or Terraforming Mars solo yet!
I agree that seeing up either of those is daunting. Although Nemo's had been seeing a lot of play.

I usually go for either One Deck Galaxy or Warp's Edge.

Or if I'm feeling less spacey: I have been doing Mint Knight. So much faster and easier setup than Mage Knight- and I usually don't miss to much from MK.
