Games like Deadzone (Second Edition)

Looking for games like Deadzone (Second Edition)? It's a duel in the truest sense, every decision weighed against a single opponent across the table — built on asymmetric powers that make your side play unlike any other and pushing your luck against the roll. 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.
