Strategy games are a genre of video games that emphasize careful planning and tactical decision-making. Players often manage resources, build structures, and control units to achieve specific objectives. These games can be played in real-time or turn-based formats, allowing players to think critically about their moves. Common examples of strategy games include chess, StarCraft, and Civilization. They can be played solo against computer opponents or in multiplayer modes, where players compete against each other. The focus on strategy and foresight makes these games appealing to those who enjoy problem-solving and competition.
