Strategy board games are one of the oldest types of games, with examples dating back thousands of years. For instance, strategy board games have been found inside some of the Egyptian pharaohs' tombs. Games like Chess, Backgammon, and Go are also examples of very old strategy games that are still widely played around the world today. When we talk about strategy games, it's good to look closely at some individual game elements: luck, skills, diplomacy, and perfect information. Games involving luck are games where the winner is random, such as dice games and some card games. Games involving skills are games where you win based on your own abilities and mental power. Games involving diplomacy are games where you need to negotiate with your opponents about various things. Games with perfect information are games that depend solely on skills and where you can see all the information you need to win the game right away. Strategy games are always games where you need to use your skills in one way or another, and then there can be a mix of luck and diplomacy elements to a greater or lesser extent.

Strategy games are great for those who want a good challenge for the brain. They are often most fun to play with others who are at the same skill level as yourself. If you are a competitive person, strategy board games are also a good way to express that mentality in a relatively harmless way. Strategy games are also a good alternative to TV shows on a rainy day, where you want to activate your brain, rather than "turn it off".
