Lilyhop
Peg solitaire with frogs on lily pads. A frog leaps over a neighbour, which plops into the pond. The twist: momentum. A frog that can leap again must keep leaping, so every chain has to be planned. Thirty ponds, one frog left to win, stars for turns.

Byway
A papercut path-tile duel of paper lanterns in a moonlit tea garden. Lay a tile and every lantern facing it walks the path. You may lay in front of any lantern beside yours: walk rivals off the garden or into each other. Last lantern lit wins. Twelve evenings.

Pincer
Dice Wars on a paper-craft archipelago. Attack from your territories and the higher roll wins. The twist: beaten defenders fall back into a neighbouring territory instead of dying, so only a surrounded army is wiped out. Close the pincer, then strike. Twelve maps, up to three rivals.

Gallo
A quick duel of masters and pupils on a five-by-five patio. Move by the patterns on your lotería cards, and the card you use passes to your rival. Encore: capture a piece and you move again at once with the card you were just dealt. Ten rivals in Mexican folk-art style.

Scree
A push-your-luck climbing dice game. Roll four dice, pair them, climb eleven mountain trails and stop before you bust; three summits wins. The twist: flags only hold on solid ledges, so a climber stopped on loose scree slides back down. Twelve mountain rivals.
Khadija Khan2.5k199
Namesake
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.

Cloak
A tafl board game against ten raiding chiefs. Your jarl hides among three identical hoods and only you know which one he is. Slide your pieces like rooks, sandwich raiders, bluff with the decoys and run the jarl to a corner before dawn.

Pounce
Jungle, the animal chess game, with pack hunting. Elephant beats lion beats tiger down to the mouse, and the mouse beats the elephant. The twist: every friend standing next to the prey adds its rank, so a cat, a fox and a wolf together can take a lion. Walk into the rival's den to win. Twelve forest rivals.
San Samnang3.1k246
Ripple
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.
Enrique Morales783.7k304
Cairn
A climb-and-build duel of mountain goats on a misty highland. Hop a goat, then shift one stone from a cairn beside it to another. There are no new stones, so every stone you place came from somewhere: tear down the rival's stairs and build your own. First onto a 3-stone cairn wins. Twelve rivals.
Fernanda Pereira4.7k352
Ford
Chinese checkers on a small sandstone star by a river. Race six glass marbles to the far point by steps and long hop chains. The twist: every move leaves a stepping stone that anyone can hop over until your next move. Ten river rivals, stars.
Farhad Mozaffari4.6k337
Ebru
A marble-pushing duel on a hexagonal tray of marbled paper. Roll lines of glass marbles, outweigh your rival to push, and shove three of theirs off the rim. Your Queen weighs two in every push, but if she is pushed off, you lose. Eight rivals of the marblers' guild.
Bruno Soares975.7k423
Cornerstone
A corner-to-corner stone-laying duel in the spirit of Blokus Duo. Lay pieces of 1 to 5 squares so each touches your own only at the corners, and cover more of the board than your rival. The twist: there is only one shared set of 21 pieces, so every piece you take is one your rival never gets. Twelve mason rivals.
Isabela Xavier4.5k352
Refold
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.
