This list of games is fantastic, and your descriptions are rich and inspiring. Being a heavy cardboard fan myself, I would suggest a few others that might fit with your hook, craft, and spirit criteria: Terraforming Mars (where players take on the role of companies vying for corporate supremacy of the red planet) and Black Angel (where players are in ‘co-opitition’ as duelling AIs piloting and defending a seed ship to respawn human civilization in a new solar system). Great Friday read!

This looks really fun, especially the Aliens-esque one.

Ever play Cyberpunk? I think it was an RPG that came out in the late 80s. Made me think about some of that world-building.
