Entrapment Review
Entrapment hooks you with sneaky traps, chunky tiles, and a race to outsmart your buddies. It’s clever, quick, and mostly fair—unless you’re as unlucky as me and still fall into your own trap. Oops.
Abstract Strategy
These games focus on strategy rather than luck or a theme. They usually have minimalistic designs and rules, emphasizing skill and critical thinking. Examples include “Chess” and “Go” and “Stratego”.

Leyte Gulf Naval Chess Game Review
Chess Game 2 Player is a classic that tests your brain, patience, and maybe your friendships. Simple rules, zero luck, and endless replay, but be warned—the learning curve is steeper than my cat’s back when I say 'bath.'

Grand Prix Review
Grand Prix delivers fast-paced racing fun, great for competitive groups. But if you hate dice luck or losing to your grandma, it might drive you mad! I laughed, I cursed, I definitely yelled "vroom" too much.

Sheepshead is like herding cats, but with cards. Tricky to learn, but once you get it, every hand is a wild ride of strategy, shouts, and sly grins. Just watch out for your sneaky uncle’s trump cards.
Rating: 4.5/5
Polarity Review
Polarity had me sweating more than a spelling bee finalist. It's all about balancing magnets and nerves. If you like a steady-hand challenge, this game's a real showstopper—just don't play after three coffees.
