Watch “Should You Buy These Point Games For Solo? Here's What I Found,” a board game review for Point Galaxy from Boardgaymergirl on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Boardgaymergirl on YouTube:
Hello there and welcome to another solo mode check video on the Boardgaymergirl channel! If you are new here, my name is Natalie and I like to play games primarily solo which may or may not include some silly antics. This series looks at the solo modes in multiplayer board games and whether they are worth adding to your collection if you ONLY ever played them solo.
Today we are exploring a well loved series consisting of Point Salad, Point City and Point Galaxy. Join me as I provide a brief overview on how to play Point City and Point Galaxy solo modes, comparison of the experiences in multiplayer versus solo mode, and which solo mode reigns supreme.

About Point Galaxy, from BoardGameGeek:
From the team that brought you the card games Point Salad and Point City, Point Galaxy is a fast card-drafting, sequence-building game for the whole family!
Point Galaxy takes the same simple concept of drafting cards and building the best combinations, and adds new layers of sequence building, set collection, and racing towards objectives to the mix - making the game easy to learn, but challenging for everyone!
Rules are simple: Take any two cards from the dynamic market and add them to your expanding galaxy. As you place cards, create solar systems by arranging planets in numeric order and earn bonuses by collecting suns, asteroids, moons, rockets, and research projects to score the most points!
There are over 140 unique double-sided planet/space cards, so you can create a completely different galaxy each and every time you play!
