Introversion's clever strategy sims

If you like systems that push back, the work of Introversion Software gives you plenty to manage. Prison Architect has you arrange cell blocks and keep daily routines from falling apart, DEFCON has you weigh cold decisions on a tense world map, and The Last Starship has you shape a ship and then keep everyone aboard alive while you take jobs. Each one is about planning ahead, reading limited information and living with trade-offs.
