Kriegsspiel

Kriegsspiel is a traditional military training game developed in the 19th century to teach strategic thinking and decision-making. It simulates combat scenarios using layered maps, real-world rules, and limited information, requiring players to plan and adapt as they receive new intelligence. Originally used for training officers, today it is also enjoyed as a serious tabletop game to explore tactics, leadership, and decision-making under uncertainty, blending logical analysis with realistic military concepts.
