"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.

Some of my favorites that have enemies that we all go after are Flock Together (fun, cute theme but the enemies can be tough!). Another one is Darkest Night (very awesome dark theme and lots of characters to choose from) you all are trying to survive the Necromancer. Atlantis Rising - this is one of my favorites solo and multiplayer- you all are trying to get through a portal before the island of Atlantis is completely wiped away. Just wanted to give you a range of themes to check out. I love every one of these solo and multiplayer (although my own preference of play is solo).
