I'm going on a wild tangent here, but this was one of the great innovations in tabletop RPGs: Blades in the Dark is centered around the players doing heists. Traditional RPGs would have the players plan for way too long, then go in and the plans fall apart within seconds because of course!
They're not professional thieves! So Blades introduced a mechanic where you go in without you, the player, doing any planning, but during the heist you can do a flashback (at a cost), showing how your character, the professional criminal, planned for this problem and set something up to overcome it.
There's a Football Manager mobile version free through Netflix that is like it used to be. Just buy and sell players, choose your formation, and get refused by the board for a stadium expansion. Just like the good old days!
