Rainbow Six Siege
One life per round, walls you can break and a five-a-side team that scouts before it moves. Siege asks the most of a group here and rewards the groups that stick with it.

First evenings
Where the first hours go
New accounts unlock the game step by step. The Attack and Defense tutorials and matches against AI come first, the Shooting Range opens at Clearance Level 3, Quick Match at 3, Dual Front at 5 and Unranked at 20. Free access starts with ten operators and earns up to 26 through play.
Every round begins with a 45-second preparation phase: attackers drive small drones to find the defenders, and defenders reinforce walls and set traps. A group that uses those seconds well wins more rounds than one with better aim.
A fixed group of five that wants a long project and likes planning every round.
Groups that want ranked play without paying, short evenings, and players under 18: it is rated PEGI 18.
