Looking for games like Ohio Bob and the Lost Amulet? It's a strategy game with real decisions on every turn — built on spatial puzzles that grow as each new piece lands and the squeeze of wringing the most out of a limited hand.

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.
