Age Of Wonders: Planetfall
Buy it on Steam here
I don't think anyone saw the announcement trailer going the way it did for Planetfall, as the developers announced a surprise switch from fantasy to sci-fi in the long-running Age Of Wonders series.
Although this is a turn based strategy game with heavy 4X elements, if you really boil it down, Planetfall basically plays like a complex board game with animations.
From managing resources and diplomacy to exploring the map and dealing with randomized elements, there's a ton here for board game fanatics to love. The recent Revelations DLC also just added a host of new elements and enemies, with another faction due to arrive in the next expansion down the line.
