Develop a colonial plantation island — plant crops, build city buildings, and ship goods to Europe using a role-selection mechanism where the chosen role benefits everyone but the chooser most.
Quoridor
Race your pawn to the opposite side of the board while placing wooden fences to slow your opponent — every fence you place can be countered, making this abstract game a brilliant spatial puzzle.

Simultaneously choose phases — explore, develop, settle, produce, consume — and reveal them together, building a galactic civilisation from tableau cards with a steep learning curve but incredibly deep strategy.
