Many boardgames are also available in spanish. BoardGameGeek is a popular boardgame website. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have an ergonomic way to filter searches on a spanish-language version of the game being available. But you can go to a particular game, look at the "versions" tab, and see what languages are available. From this I can see the LOTR trick taking game I mentioned is published in spanish (as well as many other languages).

I don't know firsthand for good games similar to what you've mentioned. I asked an LLM about "enhanced" versions of Solitaire specifically and is mentioned

* The Crew: it's a trick-taking game (like the LOTR one). which of the two trick taking games is better is probably debatable, notably the crew is 2-5 players, while LOTR is 1-4. I've only played LOTR at >= 2, so can't comment on it at 1 player.

* Regicide: 1-4 person cooperative game where you "fight monsters" by playing standard poker cards. I haven't played it personally but I saw a video on it and was interested in it from that.

All of the above (I think) have their core game pieces not really involve any language (besides eg numbers). So you could get them in spanish, and still plausibly play with them if you learned the english rules from somewhere. BoardGameGeek often has rules files available online, e.g. regicide's rules in english are downloadable on this page
