What Are Strategy Board Games

As the name suggests, strategy games require players to plan ahead and strategize to win. Players must be thinking several moves ahead and trying to predict their opponents' moves as well. These are not games of chance. Unlike abstract strategy games, strategy games follow a story line and take place in a particular time, place, and setting. There is an element of role playing attached to the game.

Types of Strategy Games

War games, such as Risk, and adventure games, such as Carcassonne, allow players to step outside their normal, everyday roles and into an exciting adventure! In your new role as a pirate, soldier, or other adventurer, you must use your wit and intelligence to outsmart your opponents. In Risk, for example, you are fighting to control the universe! Civilization allows you to step back in time and build a mighty empire. Make the right choices along the way, and you just might conquer the world.
