[A] Middle-earth | CCG where Gandalf costs too much. One Ring corrupts mathematically. Tournament scene died with the movies ending sadly.

[D] Botswana | Animal cards affect plastic animal values. Rhinos worth most until everyone has five. Reiner Knizia making economics fun again somehow.

[B] David & Goliath | Trick-taking where lowest card wins but curses you. Biblical theme barely present. Goliath loses appropriately often actually.

[A] Battleground | Fantasy armies through cards only. No board, miniatures, or comprehension required. Distance measured in card lengths seriously.

[D] Corsari | Pirate game nobody owns or remembers. BGG entry exists proving it's real. Mediterranean trading through obscure mechanisms.

[A] Was sticht? | German trick-taking where trump changes constantly. Title means "what trumps?" answering nothing helpfully. Karl-Heinz Schmiel being experimental.

[D] Girl Genius: The Works | Steampunk webcomic becomes card game inexplicably. Spinning cards mechanic seems innovative. Clanks accumulate causing cascading disasters.

[C] Groo: The Game | Barbarian parody where stupidity helps. Kopecks count as negative points brilliantly. Cheese dip references confuse modern players.

[B] Fluxx | Rules change every turn chaotically. Draw 5 Play All creates infinite loops. Victory conditions shift before achieving them.

[A] Plague & Pestilence | Medieval medicine simulator depressingly accurate. Leeches cure everything apparently. Death common, victory pyrrhic typically.

[B] Mus | Basque game with hand signals legally. Partnership communication through gestures. Spanish national championship exists incredibly.

[C] Victory & Honor | Roman battles in fifteen minutes optimistically. Numbers beat each other simply. Historical accuracy sacrificed for playability.
