What exactly are strategy games?
So what exactly are strategy games? And what makes them so great?
Well, the grandparents of modern strategy games are probably chess and go. They’re fun to play, deceptively simple and demand skills like pattern recognition, forward planning, imagination, logical and creative thinking, deep concentration and many more.
Today’s strategy games - like the ones we stock - are more colourful and modern, but they reward and train the same skills. They come in a wide range of styles and forms too, from strategy card games to dice games and board games with complex, well-realised worlds that you can lose yourself in for hours.
The fun of strategy games comes from developing your own play style and tactics to keep one step ahead of your opponents. They’re all about clever planning, smart decisions and lots of excitement.
