Keep grinding,
I hope you level up! :)
The Battle for Wesnoth.

I've been playing this game for ten years now, and it can still be very challenging. It is a Turn Based Strategy that takes a lot of skill and luck, and a large part of the skill is managing the luck. Much of the challenge comes from understanding probability and our own misperceptions of probability: if a unit with a 10% chance to die dies, it is an easy reaction to feel like you've been "cheated", because 10% seems much smaller than it actually is.

I guess it is hard to explain without explaining the nuts and bolts of the game.
