#22 - Zed Deck

Zed Deck is a solitaire print-and-play card game. You must battle and dodge zombies while gathering supplies before the full moon, when all the zombies go into a frenzy. In your search you will encounter events such as various zombies, other survivors, and different hazards. You decide how many resources you wish to devote to overcoming an event (in the form of cards drawn). The more cards you draw the better your chance of overcoming the event but the less cards left in the deck to potentially gain supplies and equipment.

#18 - Dice Of Arkham

Evil cultists are trying to summon a creature that will, as is often the case in these kinds of stories, destroy the world as we know it. You have to stop them by finding the seals that will prevent the ritual and bind the creature before they find the keys that bring it forth.
Every turn you roll and reroll dice Yahtzee style to generate the resouces needed to find the seals and to battle the evil that tries to stop you. The goal is to gather enough investigation to find the three seals before the time runs out or you’re killed or driven insane. But you have to be careful. Not only do you also roll mythos dice each turn which will send deranged cultists and eldritch monsters against you, every roll of your own dice can also cost your dearly.
Dice of Arkham is a solitaire game that is free to print and play. All you need is a print of the game sheet, eight normal dice, and eight small tokens or beads and you're ready to save the world.

#17 - Species

Species is a game about ecology and evolution of plants for 2 or 3 players. Eight or nine different plant species compete for soil and sun, adapting to natural circumstances and to each other, while trying to survive a rampaging herd of grazing animals destroying everything in its path.
Players try to give the plant species under their control the right advantages to win the competition with the opponents’ species, and to spread as much as possible. Every turn, after the herd wipes out most of the plants from a small part of the map, the players secretly choose which of their species acquires a new adaptation (or loses one, or spawns onto the map), after which species spread and compete. These adaptations give advantages in specific parts of the map, or in combination with other advantages, or with other species with other advantages, or ...
