Classroom of the Elite has similar vibes
It could depend on your liking, but in a general sense my mind goes to Kakegurui, Durarara or Bungou stray dogs.
I would honestly recommend sports anime like Haikyuu or Prince of Tennis for this kind of thing. Sports anime always lean really hard into the mental game and you’ll have whole scenes playing out in freeze frame or slow-mo while characters painstakingly walk through their plans. I’m a sucker for that kind of thing
Jojo's Bizzare Adventure parts 2 and 3. Unlike in later parts, there are no healers, so the main characters have to outsmart their adversaries while also staying healthy enough to continue their journeys.
+1 for Kakegurui.
I'd suggest "No Game No Life", but it is a controversial title (especially about its fan service), so I also advise caution.
Weirdly enough, I had this thought when I was watching Dr. Stone. It's more the over the top type because it's so improbable that they'd come to the same conclusions.
First season of Promised Neverland is gold for that. Unfortunately Season 2 is unwatchable (I read they stopped following the manga) but season 1 is still 100% worth it
