The locks get progressively more difficult (larger numbers and more of them). To assist you, you have three "skimmers" where you can save numbers, three rerolls, and you can unlock numbers anywhere in the grid.
Strategy-wise, you have to balance current needs with long term goals. Basic but fun.

Details: Vault is a roll & write game whhere you are trying to crack a safe vault. You have a 'sheet' of numbers in a crossword style grid.
You have 12 turns. Each turn you roll 5 dice, you then can match numbers in the grid to clear 12 locks so you can get upto 21 diamonds. Each turn has a lock.

Tiny Epic Galaxies is one of my favorites! I got the expansion: Beyond The Black, and have only played it solo, but it's good as well.
I mostly agree with you about the other Tiny Epic series, but I'm trying to get a good play of Kingdoms w/ the expansion before I throw in the towel.

Plus, you always see the current and next row of land cards, giving you a hint of how you want to play or manipulate the turns.
I've never played the game in real life, but it seems like a fun implementation. BGA is excellent for these types of games. If looking for quick fun, give it a try.

Details: A fun small card game where you are trying to collect sets of land cards to gain points, in point salad fashion, where each set has its own "multiplier". You bid on cards, lowest picking first, but each card also has a power that you can use to manipulate points or other powers.

Welcome To on BGA is one of my favorites. I like Cartographers, but I almost prefer it solo with paper and pencil.

It's my favorite Christmas movie. And my favorite version of Santa Claus. The original I mean.
