Caper: Europe - Same as Caper?
Dinosaur World - Card drafting, worker placement and driving a jeep around to admire your hard work...don’t let too many people get eaten
Galenus - Worker placement game where you decide which worker to resolve during the action phase. Blind bidding to compete in medical contests.
My Father’s Work - Worker placement game where players are competing mad scientists trying to complete their father’s masterwork.
Namiji (Tokaido universe) - Like Tokaido but a bit deeper with some different mechanisms but still has the same chill vibe
Merchants Cove - Rondel and commodity speculation
Museum: Pictura - More streamlined version of the original game. There is more intermittent scoring chances in this one as opposed to the original version.
