What makes a game strategic

A strategic game gives players meaningful choices. You can attack, defend, trade, build space, or wait for a better position.

Where to start

Start with Gomoku or Reversi if you want a short strategy game. Move to Xiangqi or Klotski when you want a deeper planning challenge.
