Everdell Duo brings the charm of the original Everdell into a streamlined, two-player format with both competitive and cooperative modes. With stunning art, familiar critters, and a brand-new campaign system, it offers deep strategy in a compact package. Perfect for pairs looking to build their woodland city together—or go head-to-head.

Project L is an engine building, tile drafting game that is one of my favorite new games I have played this year.

Machi Koro 2, like it's predecessor, is a fantastic game. While I enjoyed the original version, I actually think I like the sequel more...

Plankton Rising is a great introduction to engine-building games as well as card-drafting.

Tumble Town by Weird Giraffe Games is a 1-4 player, dice manipulating, card drafting, engine-building game of town planning goodness.
