7DRL that reminds me of Lara Croft Go and Hitman Go. It's short but there's a good steep learning curve to the potential interactions between board elements - I think it was ten tries in before I realized enemies could drop dynamite in fire to intentionally ignite it early, and fifteen before I knew the bear trap guys wouldn't drop a trap directly onto my character. The board highlighting to show that zones is helpful but also interesting that it's often incomplete.

Played all the way through on the last day of 2022.
