Looking for games like The Cleaner? It's a strategy game with real decisions on every turn — built on the tension of claiming the best spots before anyone else can 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.
