Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 2
Space Station 13 leans harder on execution: Clunky intentional interface; speed helps but rarely decides.
Reads8 vs 6
Gwent: The Witcher Card Game leans harder on reads: Two-out-of-three rounds create meta-game bluffing and baiting
Variance5 vs 7
Space Station 13 leans harder on variance: Random antagonists, events, and chaos define every shift.
Optimization8 vs 7
Gwent: The Witcher Card Game leans harder on optimization: Row control and point denial strategies are analytically solvable
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
