Pirate Cards

You're a pirate captain moving one step at a time - up, down, left, or right - across a board of cards, and each card you land on is an event: an enemy that costs you life points, an elixir that restores them, a shield, a coin, sometimes a cannon you can fire ahead of you. The board is really a survival puzzle disguised as an exploration game, since every move has to weigh your current life total against what's waiting on the next card. Checking your health before committing to a direction matters more than it sounds like it should.
