Don't worry, this is just an occupational hazard. In So, You've Been Eaten. a miner collects crystals from the stomach of a gigantic space beast. The beast digests the miner using bacteria and immune responses.

In the fantasy card game Enchanters you create an artifact and upgrade it every turn. Each card you take retains some of its power. As you get stronger, you can take on more powerful monsters and, if you plan well, even slay a dragon. To set up the game, each player takes five crystals. Then you shuffle the number of kingdom piles equal to the number of players, and then place six cards on the travel track. In the game, players take turns traveling, collecting cards from the travel track by paying with crystals. Obtained cards are placed in adjacent piles, with something like "Long Sword" going into the item pile and cards like "of Fire" going into the enchantment pile; Combined, these cards create the "Long Sword of Fire", and cards grant both temporary bonuses (top icons and skills) and permanent bonuses (bottom icons). Players can attack approaching monsters and defeat them in battle to score points. In combat, you compare your defense to the monster's power to determine whether you will take damage. Then you must collect as many attacks as the monster's health to defeat it. You keep defeated cards as trophies. From time to time you rest in the village to collect crystals or heal wounds. When you do, you discard the first card on the travel track. At the end of each turn, replenish the travel track to six cards. The game ends when the last card has been taken or discarded.

In "On the Underground: Paris/New York" players build the Paris Métro lines or the New York City Subway lines. Each player controls 2-4 different lines depending on the number of players. During each turn, four destination cards are available that correspond to stations on the map. You can perform up to four actions; building rails by placing one of your track tokens on the board or taking a branch token. A player can use two branch tokens to branch off an existing line (whereas lines can normally only be expanded at the ends). After each player's turn, a passenger token is moved along the players' lines, using as little walking as possible, to reach one or two destinations determined at the start of the turn. Destination cards corresponding to the stations visited are then replaced with new cards, after which it is the next player's turn.
