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.

Description

The term "strategy" comes ultimately from Greek, (στρατηγια or strategia) meaning generalship.
