I recently have been playing Across The Obelisk and I have been having a blast with the game. The game is basically a mix of Slay the Spire roguelike deckbuilder battles and Dungeons and Dragons.
Instead of controlling just one character like in Slay the Spire, you control 4 characters each with different cards to choose from.
The game has four different classes(Tank, Mage, Scout and Healer) with 4 unique characters for each class with a total of 16 unique characters.
You also have progression elements such as perks and town upgrades which persist after every run.
The best part of the game is that it has upto 4 player co-op multiplayer where each person can play a single character.
It is extremely fun playing this with friends. You can also play with just two or three friends and in that case you have each person or one person control two characters.
BTW, Across the Obelisk is currently on sale on Steam in case anyone is interested in it.
What games have you played recently?
Have you tried Sid Meyer's Colonization? There seems to be a port of the old DOS version on Steam and I remember there being a CIV 4 version/mod as well. You can "forcefully evict" the native peoples from their lands and settlements, or you can try to convert them with missionaries, or trade with the tribes that hate the other colonial powers as a way to harass them without open warfare.
I haven't but I'll have to give it a try. Old Sid Meier games are generally great in my experience
