What is an "abstract strategy board game"?
An abstract strategy board game is a type of game where players focus solely on skillful decision-making and tactics, with no reliance on luck or a storyline. These games typically involve simple rules and no theme or narrative elements. Players must think ahead, plan their moves, and outsmart their opponent, as there are no hidden factors such as dice rolls or random events. Examples of abstract strategy games include chess, checkers, and Go. The challenge lies in the players' ability to anticipate and counter their opponent's moves, making the game about pure strategy.
