Likewise, I own more games about World War II than I do any other era. I find tactical games too crunchy and detailed, while strategic games are too abstract. For example, while I have wargames at the tactical and strategic level, operational games hit my sweet spot for some reason. I also selected games that, while designed for two players, could be played solo.įinally, I admit personal biases did influence my list.
In this way, if someone liked one of the games in my top six, they could find other titles in the same series. Another constraint I used was to try and select games that are part of a series. There are many great games from Avalon Hill, Victory Games, and other publishers that have long since gone out of business, but I wanted to limit my list to games those new to the hobby might have a reasonable chance of finding either from the publishers or the secondary market. First, I only considered games that were published relatively recently. Let me begin by explaining how I came up with my list. What I think makes a great game, whether it be mechanics, scope, artwork, etc., others might find downright hideous. Second, as with beauty, it is very much in the eye of the beholder. There is no way any one person can have played them all – even once. Why? Well for one, there are just so many hex and counter wargames out there. This article is bound to open a can of worms. Do you agree or has he got it all wrong? Introduction Dave lists his top six games of this type.
Hex and counter games are a mainstay of the wargame genre.
