I see that most lists consist of games that are great but also viewed many times. So my goal is to give you the **neat games you probably haven't seen yet**!\n\nEnjoy and **comment** your own entries or personal recommendations (I might consider a part two)...\n\n*Disclaimer: These six games (when writing) have < 15 comments; __they aren't perfect__ but you might like one of them*\n\n## Higher Ground\n@landosystems, @doug-graham, @mecubed, @moshen, @bainerd\n\n[![_higherGround.png](\/\/\/raw\/e42\/z\/4439.png)](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/38\/higher-ground)\n\n> \"Guide the natives to Higher Ground mountain within 70 turns clock before they get flooded out.\"\n\n- Turn-based resource management\/survival game... encourages lots of planning.
