Games like Centurion

Looking for games like Centurion? It's a duel in the truest sense, every decision weighed against a single opponent across the table — built on spatial puzzles that grow as each new piece lands. This page rounds up 12 of the closest alternatives, scored on mechanical overlap with the original (45%), complexity match (35%), and player-count fit (20%), then weighted by BoardGameGeek community ratings so every pick is one players genuinely rate. The strongest matches come first; the further down you go, the more a game trades exact overlap for a fresh take on the same core appeal.
