I can't help but prefer AiB as well.
The whole death game thing is only truly interesting if the actual games are interesting to me. Squid Game's games were straightforward and predictable with the outcome often being a mere bullet which lowered the suspense. Where the show truly shines is the drama that the games create. If it wasn't for the marble game and its outcome I'd rate it a hell of a lot lower.

AiB not only has a more interesting setup with each type of card representing a different way to tackle the game. They also get far more creative with it. I instantly read the manga after season 1 and some of these games are insane. TC mentioned Jack of Hearts and I can't wait to see it in live action. The drama and suspense it creates far exceeds even SG's marble game.
Then there's also the mystery aspect. Where are they? Where is everyone else? Why are they here?
SG's only mystery revolves around the cop's brother and it truly feels like an afterthought. The "mystery" of the organisation itself is nonexistent as "rich assholes having their jollies" would be anyone's first guess. The organisation did have killer aesthetic though. Those suits catch the eye.

All I've said isn't to put down SG as I really do like it. Just to explain why some like TC and I like AiB more.
