head to head
RollerCoaster TycoonvsWorkers & Resources: Soviet Republic
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
