What are war board games?

War games focus on conflict, command decisions, positioning, attrition, and the pressure of a contested battlefield. Some are historical simulations, while others are more accessible strategy games that borrow the feeling of tactical or military struggle.

Popular war games

Memoir '44, Undaunted: Normandy, and Twilight Struggle show how war games can range from approachable tactical battles to tense geopolitical strategy.
