Strategy Games

Strategy games here are the ones where thinking beats reflexes: tower defense lanes where you place turrets before the wave arrives, idle armies that grow while you plan the next upgrade, base building, resource juggling and the occasional turn-based skirmish. The set comes from the strategy and defense tags, and like every tag on this feed it has edges — some action games are filed here for their upgrade trees rather than their tactics. Sessions can run long, so these suit a laptop and a spare half hour. No account is needed and nothing is installed.
