Become a Strategy Game Master

Strategy games are a sub-genre of gaming (including board games, card games, and video games) which places heavy emphasis on player decision-making and tactics. These games can be both single-player and multi-player, and encourage the player to make careful, thought out decisions with a long-term goal for success, rather than quick choices based on reflex and instinct. Some strategy games are said to be 'turn based,' in which players take turns making moves, while other games are called 'real time,' in which players can make moves in any order and at any time.

Classic strategy board games include chess, backgammon, Risk, Monopoly, and Battleship,

Strategy video games include Sid Meier's Civilization, Heroes of Might & Magic, Starcraft, and Age of Empires.
