Variable Player Powers Games
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players. To illustrate, here are some notable examples.
In Ogre, one player controls a single powerful piece, and the other plays many weaker units. The net effect is a balanced game.
In Cosmic Encounter, each player is assigned a random special ability at the beginning of the game. Although each player has the same victory goal (establish colonies on five planets in other players' systems), their abilities enable differing means to the end.
In Here I Stand, each player controls a political power with unique ways to score victory points. Some focus on military conquest, some on religious influence, etc.
Player powers may change throughout the game, as in Small World or Sunrise City. - from Board Game Geek

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle
I just enjoy the way you can build your deck up and still create something thematic to the movie. It offers simplistic goals and it has been easy to teach to non-gamers. - Nolan
Mansions of Madness
Mansions incorporates the gritty suspense of Lovecraftian fiction with the action-packed board game of Betrayal at House on the Hill. As you explore a new area, you lay down tiles and encounter new faces. The engine of this game is the fact that the story is ran through a story-telling app. You can download it on your phone or computer. Definitely recommend for fans of science fiction and horror. - Eric R.
Marvel Champions
The game is relatively simple to learn and to get into. The customization options for your decks and the villain decks make for different and challenging scenarios each time you play. - Matter Miller
Stuffed Fables
A table-top role-playing-game in a box geared for families, but with enough complexity for adults to enjoy. It's like Toy Story meets D&D! - Richard

Architects of the West Kingdom
Points are gained by constructing various buildings and advancing work on the Archbishop's cathedral. Throughout the game, players need to make a lot of moral decisions. However, only at game's end will their virtue be judged.
Root
It's a quick and easy to learn game that's Fun and easy for all ages! All you need is to learn how to play as your current character/Faction! It also has multiple Expansions to enrich your experience! - Steven
Scythe
It combines well refined mechanics, a 4x playstyle, and excellent art into a game that feels polished and exciting. One of my personal top five games of all time. - Richard

Have you ever thought to yourself that you could build a better dungeon than you friends and family? Well with the power of Boss Monster now you can, build your own unique dungeon with a variety of cards and lead your Boss to victory! - Eric T.
Munchkin
It is a game where you develop your hero as you go. You can play in many different worlds which makes you feel like you are combining different worlds. Marvel allows you to have Iron Man's Armor with Cap's Shield for example. Each game is different and fun to solve the challenge as you try to become the strongest hero in the game. - Nolan
Tiny Epic Dungeons
Co-op game running through a dungeon, like D&D but a lot easier to set up. Challenging difficulty but enjoyable. - Nathan
