First you lay out a lair behind your screen, full of dead ends, traps and monsters, with the treasure tucked where you think nobody will look.

Jack drowned the barman who watered down his whisky, then learned dark magic so he could do it again every night. He is 723 nights in and still not bored.Call of the Zombie adds the Hellbilly Zombie Master and his undead crew to Ace of Spades. The poker driven duelling is the same, but the enemies get back up after you put them down, which changes which hands are worth holding and which are worth burning now.Solo or two players in co-op, 40 to 45 minutes. This is an expansion, so you need the Ace of Spades base game to play.
The seals are breaking one by one, and you are the only thing standing between humanity and the end of it.7th Seal is a solo dice management boss battle. Each seal you open unleashes a beast with its own board, its own pattern and its own way of punishing a wasted roll. You roll, you assign, you squeeze every pip you have, and the question every turn is whether to spend dice now or hold them for whatever comes through next.A run takes 30 to 70 minutes and it is solo only. There is no text on the components, so language is not a barrier, and the beasts you face change the shape of each game.
Buy better cards than your opponent, build a deck that hits harder every turn, and knock their health from 50 to zero.Hero Realms is the fantasy version of Star Realms, and it plays the same way: everyone starts with the same ten card deck of gold and weapons, then spends gold on whatever is face up in the market row. Guild, Imperial, Necros and Wild cards chain off each other, so a cheap pickup early can turn into a six damage turn later.Two players in about 20 minutes out of the box, with rules for Free For All, Hunter and Hydra if more people want in. Character packs and campaign decks expand it.What's in the box

Mother raptor is loose in the park with her babies. One player hunts, the other runs.Both sides hold the same nine cards. Each round you both play one face down and reveal: the lower number acts first and takes the card's special action, the higher number gets that many plain action points instead. So you are never choosing a move, you are guessing what the other person needs.A two player duel of about 30 minutes. The scientists win by tranquilising the mother or catching three babies, the raptor wins by eating three scientists or getting the babies off the board. No text on the components, so language is not an issue.What's in the box
Double sided game board
Mother raptor and baby raptor figures
Scientist figures
2 decks of 9 cards

Each operative has their own board, gear and abilities, and every mission puts you behind enemy lines with an objective and not enough turns to be careless. The alien force reacts to noise and sightlines, so how quietly you move matters as much as how hard you shoot.60 to 90 minutes a mission, and it plays solo. On the heavier side of co-op, so budget a first session for learning the rules.What's in the box
