Friday, the second game in Friese's Freitag-project, (Black Friday was the first) is about Robinson and Friday (Freitag). The player is Friday and must help Robinson to survive and prepare him for the last two battles against the pirates.
Friday is a deck-building game in which you try to add good cards to the deck and get rid of the bad ones. With this deck you fight against the dangers. If you defeat one danger (card), you will add this card to your deck (good). If you lose against a danger, you lose some health tokens, but you can get rid of the cards you lost with (generally weaker cards).
If you have no health tokens left and lose one more health point: game over; if you defeat both pirates, you win.
This is one of my most played games. I gave my first copy to a friend and promptly bought a replacement copy for myself. It's a clever deck builder/deck destruction game where you gain cards by overcoming obstacles (gaining experience) but you gain weaknesses each time you cycle your deck (aging).
Definitely recommend this one for anyone who plays solo. It easy to learn and set up with a lot of tough decisions and is quite difficult to win. I great small box quick solo to have on the shelf.
Fun solo deck build to help a guy off an island, changes every game
It’s been said this game is tough. That is an understatement.
I walked away from the first 9 plays in frustration and bewilderment. I figured myself a decent gamer. This one just put me in my place. I wondered how are people winning this game?…and on harder difficulties??? The challenge brought me back to it. I typically win 60% of games but I’ll still on easy.
If you want a puzzling challenge with very little theme, this will satisfy and don’t worry, you will get better…
Friday is a pretty fun solo survival game that uses a neat mechanic to determine your survival skills/knowledge. Good time.

I use it for Century Spice Road, the character cards of LOTR - Journeys, and for the planet cards for Astro Knights. No cards have autocombusted so far... fingers crossed!
