Pests!(2017)
Games like Pests!
Looking for games like Pests!? It's a strategy game with real decisions on every turn — built on asymmetric powers that make your side play unlike any other and a board that reshapes itself so no two games play alike. 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.
