2. Among Us

It is a game of lies and manipulation with some elements based on strategy and cunning to always intrigue you!
3. Hearthstone
Hearthstone is a collectible card game in the Warcraft universe. Players assemble decks of cards representing spells, characters and other abilities; then duel it out in intense matches.
