The acclaimed territorial abstract (The Game of the Amazons), on a snappy 6×6 board — you (cyan) versus a mobility-driven CPU (rose). Each side commands two Amazons that move like a chess queen. A full turn has two parts: slide one Amazon in a straight line, then from its new square shoot an arrow (also queen-wise) that burns the square it lands on. Burned squares block movement and arrows for the rest of the game, so the board keeps shrinking. The first player who can't make a move loses. No dice, no draws — just a slow, deepening territorial squeeze.
Chess on a small paper board. Your horse, crane and boat are origami, and every move refolds them into the next shape: horse to crane, crane to boat, boat to horse. Plan where each piece lands and what it lands as. Ten origami rivals, stars.

A tile-laying duel on a survey sheet. Two surveyors chart an island tile by tile, matching towns, roads and open land. Whoever lays the tile that finishes a town scores it and puts their name on it, no matter who built it. Leave nothing your rival can close. Eight islands, eight rivals.

Bridge the lotus pond with lily pads before your rival links its banks. Every pad you drop sends out a ripple that pushes the rival's touching pads one spot away, unless something is behind them. Ten rivals.
