GOSU

Goblin-themed tableau-building card game in which players recruit soldiers, heroes, magicians, and other units to form an army. Five clans and three ranks support specialized formations, with higher-rank goblins built onto lower-rank members of the same clan. Players play or activate goblins, draw cards, and trigger abilities using limited activation tokens. Battles compare army strength, while cards remain in hand between battles; the first player to win three battles wins.

Great engine-combo building game with goblins. PROS - It is a fantastic optimization puzzle. - It has the perfect interaction for the kind of game it is. You cannot play on your own, but direct disruption is not that common. - Lots of different cards and effects mean lots of different games. CONS - Many cards help the player(s) with less VP, so losing the first round seems to be the main strategy to win.
