medium
Package delivery is the job
[object Object] · [object Object] · [object Object] · [object Object]
The errand is not a side quest. Hauling parcels, mail, or cargo is the loop, whether the tone is cosmic grief or slapstick courier damage.
hard
Word-building from letter tiles
[object Object] · [object Object] · [object Object] · [object Object]
Letters are the ammunition. Each game asks you to make words from a board, grid, or tile set, then turns vocabulary into score, damage, or survival.
tricky
Titles start with royal ranks
[object Object] · [object Object] · [object Object] · [object Object]
Read the first word like a crown chart: King, Princess, Queen, Duke. The games themselves have almost nothing else to say to one another, which is the joke.
