2. Carcassonne
You get a polished version of the classic board game in Carcassonne. The look was recently improved with its release as 3D. As a player, you take turns in completing a project like roads, cities, and cloisters in this tile-based kingdom-building game. Upon getting to their turn, each player is allowed to drop a limited number of “meeple” on landmarks. The aim here is to get points once it has been completed. If you didn’t complete a road project by the end of the game, you still get a few points.
3. Brass (Cublo)
Designer Martin Wallace gave a nice looking visual of the game. Brass has the industrial era in England’s theme and requires players to build factories so that goods and commodities like cotton, coal can be manufactured. They are required to shop them and doing all these earn them points. You still have to borrow enough to breakeven and eventually get into a state of profit. Equipped with an AI component, you’d love the game.
4. Friday

Whenever you turn over a deck, you get to a higher level of difficulty. You can get addicted if you’re able to master the game and get through the difficulty.
