Fromage

A simultaneous worker-placement game where you play a French cheesemaker in the early 20th century, aging and selling artisanal cheeses to build prestige.

Bomb Busters
A cooperative deduction game where your team plays bomb disposal experts trying to defuse a bomb together. Each player holds a hidden set of numbered wires, and on your turn you point to a teammate's wire and guess its value based on the clues you've gathered — guess right and it's cut, guess wrong and the bomb ticks closer to going off.
