I did not know any of these, but ChatGPT gave me a rundown on each and summarized it like:
If you’re optimizing for shorter, engaging matches with strategic depth , I’d rank them:
- Cascadia – Accessible, thoughtful, plays quickly, great async ladder option.
- Quilts and Cats of Calico – Tight puzzles, gorgeous, minimal downtime.
- Evergreen – A little less known, but balanced and short.
- Isle of Cats – Great game, but longer per session and slightly fiddlier in digital.
- Caverna – Excellent heavy Euro, but probably overkill for most ladders.

I take back my vote for Evergreen, thought I was voting for EverTREE, didnt even realize EverGREEN existed! Never heard of it before! Must’ve come out when I was exploring Pluto for NASA not long ago and I totally lost track of time. Right. Yup, that was it……

Cascadia plus anything with „cat” in the title 
I was interested in Caverna until the words “like Agricola” appeared.

@Zebracadabra do you mean EverDELL? I can’t find an EverTREE on BGG or elsewhere…
In any case, EverDELL is on the verified async list that I draw from randomly each season, so there’s a chance!
Argghhh. Yup. EverDELL….
No surprise on the poll results for next new game… here are the randomly chosen games (see process at the top of the thread) for Season 5:
Lords of Waterdeep
Cascadia
Race for the Galaxy
Steam: Rails to Riches

Table 4 is finished:
After a tight first half of the game, I managed to sprint to pick up 3 rubies quickly to finish it off.
Good game!
