Turncoat
Draughts where captured pieces change sides. Every piece you take flips over into your hand, and instead of moving you can drop it back onto any empty dark square. First to take twelve wins. Twelve rivals.
Aarav Chandra58954
Trailhead
A two-player expedition card duel on an old suitcase lid. Lay luggage-label cards in rising order on five trails: Desert, Glacier, Jungle, Volcano and Reef. Your rival's trail is your floor: once they have two cards down in a colour, you can't play under their top card. Eight rival explorers.
Shihab Sheikh52826
Corral
Dots and boxes on odd-shaped pastures: build fence rails in turns, close a pen and its sheep is yours — then build again. Gold pens are worth three. Twelve rivals, the best of them play the endgame perfectly.
Beatriz Rubio52231
Relay
Backgammon with a relay. Race fifteen checkers home and bear them off, hit lone rival checkers, block with made points. The twist: land on a point where you already have a checker and it slides on along every next point that holds one of yours, so your own checkers are relay stations and a run of them is a fast lane. Twelve harbour rivals.
Zain Abdalla40440
Jostle
The old mill game on a stone table in the park. Line up three to take a stone. The twist: step into an enemy stone and, if the point behind it is free, shove it along the line to break their mills and open yours. Ten rivals, stars.
Sara Soe40128
Jetty
All Fives dominoes against twelve harbour rivals: score when the open ends add up to a multiple of five. Two tiles lie face up on the pier, and either player may play one instead of a tile from hand, to score or spoil a score, though it will not empty your hand.

Topple
Four in a row in a wooden box that can be turned over. Drop a disc, or spend a topple to turn the whole box a quarter turn and let every disc fall to the new floor. Twelve opponents, stones that never fall, stars for quick wins.
Jorge Molina8632137
Rungs
Snakes and ladders as a duel. Every roll is two dice: the roller keeps one and the rival must move by the other, so you hand them the die that lands on a snake. Twelve rivals, each on their own board.
Aarav Joshi28135
Fief
Build a six-by-six estate from domino tiles against ten neighbouring lords, drawn as an eighteenth-century estate map. Regions score their size times their crowns. The twist: each round the picker keeps one domino, must give the rival one, and burns the third, so every pick is also a gift.
Hind Benali28041
Driftboard
A personal kanban harbor-logbook — boards, custom columns with limits, labeled cards with due dates and checklists, buttery long-press drag and drop, filters, and a paper-boat send-off for finished work.
Albert2566
Baren
Draft ink tiles from carved woodblocks, fill your pattern lines and print them onto your proof sheet against ten rival printmakers. Tiles that fall to the floor still cost points, but every one comes back as a wild proof.

Pin Jump
**Peg solitaire** on a pin board. A pin **jumps over an adjacent pin** into the empty hole two spaces beyond, and the jumped pin pops out. Keep jumping until a **single pin** remains to clear the board. Strand yourself with no jump left and more than one pin and it's a dead board (undo or reset). 10 boards grow from a small cross to the full 33-hole English cross.
Abalone
The modern abstract classic (Abalone, 1987) — "the sumo of board games" — rebuilt as a high-craft template. It is **net-new** and unlike anything else in the set: a **hexagonal** board and a one-of-a-kind **line-pushing** mechanic (Sumito) where you shove the opponent's marbles off the edge.
Molehill
Race your mole across the kitchen garden before the rival reaches your side. Each turn step one bed or plant a hedge in its way, but any mole can dig under a hedge a couple of times, and the tunnel stays open for both. Ten rival moles.

Bagh-Chal (Tigers & Goats)
The national hunt game of Nepal (बाघचाल), rebuilt as a high-craft template. It is **net-new** and **asymmetric** — unlike every symmetric abstract in the set (`konane`, `fanorona`, `checkers`, `mills`…), the two sides play by entirely different rules and chase opposite goals, which makes it both strategically deep and very recordable (tigers stalk, goats swarm, a leap eats a goat to a roar).
Hexfield Tactics
A kitchen-table hex-and-counter wargame on green felt. Slide printed cardboard units, pay forest and river costs, stop in zones of control, and settle assaults with tumbling dice. Ten authored scenarios teach movement, flanks, artillery, fog, engineers, supply and a river-crossing finale. After-action cards and commendations persist. Optional winter snow and hobby-shop counter sets.

Four Board Push
Mobile-first four-board push duel inspired by Shobu-style abstract play.
Carrom Oracle Board
Mobile carrom pocket challenge with optional AI-forged board skins. The original local engine owns the full game: striker placement, pull-release shot input, disc collisions, rail bounces, corner pockets, foul respawns, target detection, level unlocks, score and local progress. The Oracle may only change presentation: title, host copy, menu/result labels and board/coin palette.
Cribbage Board Race
Mobile-first cribbage duel with a clean attract mode and no external runtime assets.
Backgammon
The 5,000-year-old race game, you (white) versus a thinking CPU (dark). Roll two dice and move your checkers around the horseshoe toward your home board. Land on the opponent's lone **blot** to send it to the bar; stack two or more on a point to **block** it. Once all fifteen of your checkers are home, **bear them off** — first to clear all fifteen wins. Doubles play four.
Four Board Push
Mobile-first four-board push duel inspired by Shobu-style abstract play.

Pin Jump Remix
**Peg solitaire** on a pin board. A pin **jumps over an adjacent pin** into the empty hole two spaces beyond, and the jumped pin pops out.
