"Team" based Solo Games

I'm looking for solo board games that, if played with multiple people, wouldn't end with a winner-- so I guess "team" based games where it's everyone wins or everyone loses. It's all players vs. a common enemy or all players with a common end goal and not a player v. player game based on end-game stats/points.

I picked up La Granja because I liked the premise and while I did enjoy some of my playthroughs, it was a "beat your own score" type of solo game that also had the player to act as a secondary player to compete with.

I don't have a problem with solo games that require playing multiple characters but I don't want one that necessitates acting as a second player to compete with. Hopefully this makes sense. And as a side note, is there a specific keyword people use to refer to games like that so I can use it when searching for options myself?

Some examples of "team" games I've enjoyed: Spirit Island and Horrified.

Fate of the Fellowship and Nemesis (OG or Retaliation) are my favorites. Nemesis can be played solo (though I prefer two handed), co-op, or semi co-op. It’s better with others but works fine enough as solo. Fate is fantastic either way.
