About Minos Strategos

You are the legendary Minos Strategos (general of the ancient city of Minos)! Command the defenders of the temple by harnessing the power of specific battle formations to push back the Minotaur hordes. Minos Strategos is a quick single-player strategy game with a focus on elegance and clarity. Climb the single-player ladder as you devise flexible strategies, amassing an ever-growing collection of command cards as you go!

Inspired by the board game "Tash-Kalar" by Vlaada Chvátil, Minos Strategos has players creating, matching, and utilizing unit formations on an ever-changing battlefield. Unlock collectible command cards to summon powerful threats, clear large swaths of enemies in an area of effect, and form powerful chaining combos to play multiple cards in a single turn.

"\ is quite likely to be the best digital game of 2017" -Keith Burgun (Lead designer of Auro, Dinofarm Games)

Axes and Acres
http://store.steampowered.com/app/448910/ (88% positive)
"A quaintly Medieval exercise in chucking dice, flipping cards, and taming a pastoral landscape. BrainGood Games has done a fantastic job capturing boardgame elegance in a tidy videogame package, complete with a gently punishing metagame."
-Tom Chick, Quarter to Three

SkyBoats
http://store.steampowered.com/app/510780/ (100% positive)
"These guys, BrainGoodGames, make some wonderful boardgame-like strategy games. Their newest one, Skyboats, is in the Euro game genre, and it is simply outstanding. The developers are very clever, and have obviously playtested the heck out of this design."
-FroBodine, Steam User Review

A well-crafted classic game with a nice soundtrack that evokes the ancient Greece setting. Chess-like, taking turns but it's "control the temples" to score points and win, not "control the center of the board" and capture opponent's pieces to win. So that's refreshingly un-bloodthirsty. Cards give it randomness and replayability, but this is not a deckbuilder. Good "work-for-brain" puzzle board to solve when you have 5 or 10 minutes to play.

You basically just move a piece each turn, capture, and try to hold spaces against respawning minotaurs. You get to play a card or use another ability each turn. Simple and elegant, very challenging and rewarding, but not overwhelming either.

Another BGG game where it decides the difficulty and you have no control over it. That decision makes the game unplayable.
