If you want a tabletop experience on your Switch, you could do a lot worse than check out Armello. Another of the unique, unusual gems on the eShop, Armello fuses card and board game elements with those of RPGs, and creates a story-rich adventure featuring anthropomorphic animals.

The King of the land has fallen ill with a toxic disease called the Rot, and various animals have been sent out in hopes of claiming the throne for their respective clans.

Each complex, well-designed character in this whimsical world has a distinct background story, and different abilities and skills - allowing you to choose your favourites, and vilify those you like least. And while Armello has a learning curve to it, with randomisation and four different ways to win the game, it is well worth taking the time to figure out how everything works.

That way you can choose the way that you want to defeat the other three players - whether they are AI, people you know, or players you match with online. With Armello, you will never play the same game twice.
