Games like RUN

Looking for games like RUN? 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 a fresh starting puzzle every time you sit down. 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.
