Answer
Hi Ahmed,
I appreciate your great interest in board games.  As much as I would enjoy providing you with detailed information about each of the games you listed, I am unfamiliar with the game play of most of the games you listed and would suggest you look at the Boardgamegeek to get descriptions, pictures, time length for game play, ages of players, and many other things that would be helpful in differentiating what is suitable for your own needs.

As far as providing information on the best solo games to play, this is difficult to determine as each person has their own definition of what they would enjoy for themselves.  You could take a look at a list of one-player games in the one-player games category at Don's Game Closet at www.donsgamecloset.com.  There you can click on a large number of solo games and see their descriptions, the type of game they are listed as (for example, abstract strategy, card games, dexterity games, electronic games, etc.) and determine this answer for yourself.  Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
Don
