Guess the Game by the Cover: 20 Rounds

Four game covers hidden behind dark tiles, with only a few squares showing

Can you name a game from a few squares of its cover? Each of these 20 rounds starts with most of the cover hidden, and every wrong guess or skip opens more of it. Get it on the first look for 5 points, down to 1 point on the last. The game’s title stays covered until the round ends, so you are going on the art alone. Small spelling slips still count, and all 20 answers are listed under the game if you get stuck.
