Game of Strategy

A Game of Strategy is a game that requires players to make strategic decisions based on strategic thinking and planning to achieve game objectives.

• Counter-Examples:
  • Game of Pure Chance, such as Roulette or Dice Games, which lacks game strategic decision making and relies solely on game random outcome.
  • Game of Physical Skill, such as Darts or Billiards, which prioritizes physical ability over game strategic thinking.
  • Deterministic Complex Decisioning Task, which may require optimization but lacks the game competitive element or game strategic interaction.
  • Simple Reaction Game, such as Whac-A-Mole, which emphasizes quick response rather than game deliberate strategic planning.
  • Pure Puzzle, such as Jigsaw Puzzle, which has a fixed solution without game strategic adaptation to game opponent action.

  • A strategy game or strategic game is a game (e.g. video or board game) in which the players' uncoerced, and often autonomous decision-making skills have a high significance in determining the outcome. Almost all strategy games require internal decision tree style thinking, and typically very high situational awareness.

    The term “strategy” comes ultimately from Greek, (στρατηγια or strategia) meaning generalship. It differs from “tactics" in that it refers to the general scheme of things, whereas "tactics" refers to organization and execution.
