Tacoma is a great little game, was a bit of a surprise when I played it as I didn't like their previous game much but found Tacoma much easier to get invested in.

Wonderful! This is exactly what I was looking for, finding little hidden gems like these. Thanks for the list, I'm certainly going to add some of these to my backlog.
