Love turn-based games? Well, now is your chance to stock up on a few and wishlist what might look to be some great upcoming games for you in the #TurnBasedFest on Steam.
Nowhere near as big as the Valve-run stuff directly, but these smaller events run by others are still a great way to discover some new favourites. The event runs until December 12th.
Valve still need to do better at promoting these smaller events. I often miss them completely, because they just don't actually show up anywhere on Steam that I look. Hopefully Valve will make them easier to find.
There's some absolute gems included that are on sale like:
Iratus: Lord of the Dead - 80% off

I think I was put off before because the screneshots made it look/feel like a 6 player party game and that's a lot to juggle. But nope - I played it single player, party of one, and it was great. Even better in a party of three with two mates. Or mix it up and take 2 characters each. Loads of variety and the game scales accordingly.
