What other solo games like Friday would you recommend?

I have Pandemic but never played solo worth a try though because it is a good game. I don't know of anything else like Friday though.

Has anybody ever beat this game?

I have beaten it on every level (including the extra level the digital app gives you). It's definitely challenging and you are not going to win frequently. If I wanted to win about half the time or a little less than half I would play level 2. Any higher than that and you have to adjust your premise for playing the game. Basic strategy is to remove the -1 cards as early as possible, go for the "1" cards whenever possible on the first time through the deck, and prioritize the bonuses ("destroy" is always preferable to "exchange 1" for example :>). Definitely try to get the "-1 Step" card. It's not often useful, but when it is, it REALLY is. You can get more aggressive in the middle game and try to get the higher value cards. Later in the game life is key. How you handle the pirates is very much luck driven. Either the deck cooperates with you or it does not.

is there any replayability?

I say yes there is - it's not at all an easy game, so the replayability is all about trying to figure out a winning strategy.

Is this game hard to understand and play.

Hi Nancy! I bought Friday a few months back and it isn't very hard to figure out. There are a few videos on YouTube, which are great for understanding some of the finer aspects to the game. I wouldn't recommend it for a first time gamer, but it is far difficult. The trickiest part is keeping track of your total points when you have a dozen cards on the table, but I majored in English so Math isn't my strong suit.
