As per title. I personally really enjoy deckbuilding / engine builders and civilisation games, but most of them understandably end just as you’re hitting the sweet spot of getting your engine up and running. Probably why Through the Ages is my favorite game - has all the mechanics I like, but lasts long enough that I feel like I get a chance to run them.
I love Space Cadets. It’s a cooperative game where each player mans a station on a space ship.
And each station is its own mini-game.
For example, to shoot, you have to flick a token across the table to hit a mark.
Other stations have to fill out a shape with Tetris-like tiles, throw dice in a Yahtzee-like game, play memory, etc.
All with a time limit, and the captain can distribute the ship’s energy to the stations, making the mini-games easier the more energy they get.
