Ark Nova - I just had very bad starting cards and couldn’t mitigate it, so I was doomed to be behind the whole game. Seriously with that big number of cards you can just get very unlucky and have no good combo available. It’s too much chance in this game, but I might just be more of an Euro game fan…

Stars of Akarios, if they’re both into space games…

Spirit Island is really good as you can adjust the difficulty and it’s always different Stars of Akarios if you want a Gloomhaven Light Experience with some 7th Continent sprinkled in.
