Find your next board game
Cahoots
Track which temporary ally profits from each trick, reveal as little as possible in negotiation, and break a partnership just before it becomes more valuable to them than to you.
Munchkin: Critical Role
Save powerful one-shot cards for fights that change the lead, negotiate help carefully, and avoid becoming the obvious target before you can make a final run at level ten.
Spooky Tower
Secure easy ghosts early, watch which victory route opponents are pursuing, and stop rolling when a modest gain protects a nearly complete collection.
Valkyries
Plan each card around both its immediate action and the options it removes, exploit your Valkyrie’s unique power, and position for the next enemy pattern before committing to an attack.
Wraith & The Giants
Build card chains around the giant’s current weakness, preserve flexible effects for its rage turns, and accept a small wound when it protects a much stronger follow-up.
Operation Theseus: Gazala 1942
Protect supply before chasing territory, activate formations in an order that preserves follow-up options, and treat exposed armor as a temporary advantage rather than a permanent breakthrough.
Relicblade: Adventure Battle Game
Concentrate actions where they change the objective, protect fragile specialists behind terrain, and spend relics when they create a decisive activation rather than a merely efficient one.
Mutant Year Zero: Zone Wars
Use terrain to deny easy shots, hold one flexible Stalker for late-round opportunities, and pursue artifacts only when the route home is as credible as the route in.
Inflection Point: The Battle for Kalach and the Battle of Chir
Keep headquarters and supply routes coherent before stretching a formation, use terrain to create favorable engagement geometry, and plan each activation around the next formation’s needs.
Castle Builder
Preserve several legal sums beneath open spaces, spend coins on tiles that extend more than one future route, and watch which number lets an opponent climb immediately.
Fighting Formations: US 29th Infantry Division
Use terrain and line of sight to build favorable fire lanes, protect command flexibility, and take initiative when it changes the next order rather than merely the current attack.
Fighting Fantasy Adventures
Keep the ordered story decks intact, discuss risk before revealing the next location, and preserve healing and provisions for the encounters that can derail an entire adventure.
Blind Business
Listen to what opponents request from each hand, use refused deals to infer hidden positions, and balance efficient sets against the visible threat of a five-card run.
Rattlesnake
A card is both ammunition and a one-time power: read the opponent’s face-down commitment, strengthen only what your plan needs, and bury at the decisive moment.
Sweet Takes
Track which suits can still be followed, preserve low-number winners for their richer score, and use the secret stash when a blind card is worth the risk.
Star Wars: Unlimited – Intro Battle: Hoth
Use the board prompts to learn the action rhythm, protect the base while building resources, and time leader deployment for the swing turn rather than the first legal moment.
Warhammer Underworlds: Two-Player Starter Set
Read the opponent’s objective lanes, spend activations on positioning before committing attacks, and protect the fighter whose upgrade path supports the next scoring window.
BUBBLE GUM
Count the twenty-one visible or inferred cards, feed dangerous values when losing, and decide whether a controlled burst now creates the stronger final approach to fourteen.
Lepidoptery
Track which combination columns are close to filling, preserve a different meld type for the next turn, and force the opponent to spend cards blocking a connection instead of shedding efficiently.
Astro Knights: Eternity
Build a deck or pool that turns small actions into stronger combos.
ROVE Jr: Results-Oriented Versatile Explorer
Work backward from the mission pattern, save module powers for blocked corners, and avoid spending the only movement direction that can repair two modules at once.
Jeff Davis: The Confederacy at War
Protect the economy before chasing battlefield glory, supply only the campaigns that change the survival clock, and keep a reserve for the next Union offensive.
Behold: Rome
Choose a government path early, rotate cards toward complementary scoring rules, and abandon a region only when the nation upgrade or tributary is worth losing its production.
Pingyao: First Chinese Banks
Open complementary branches before competitors block the best routes, keep enough liquid silver for remittances, and use deposits only when the interest will arrive before the final round.
