Sometimes you get bored with small, short games, and you want to take part in an epic experience. That’s why we are coming to you with some long strategy board game suggestions! These are sure to keep you entertained for at least a couple of hours.
Rising Sun
First, let’s take a look at imperial Japan. Choose your clan. Choose your alliances. Worship your gods. Fight your battles. Sounds awesome, right? It sounds like Rising Sun. Top it all off with diverse miniatures, a beautiful art style, and very intuitive, fun mechanics. This is a game that you will greatly enjoy!
Concordia
Even further back than Japan, we find ourselves in the Roman Empire of the hit game Concordia. In this peaceful game of strategy and economics, players will have to make a plan, watch out for their competitors and try to reach the top of the economic ladder. It’s relatively easy to learn but hard to master. Can you be the one to manage your resources and movements good enough to emerge victorious?
Chimera Station
And lastly, let’s travel a bit into the future, on Chimera station. Factory workers. Boring, right? Well, what if they were adaptable mutants, having tentacles, claws, chainsaws and ADDITIONAL BRAINS. This is the best game for your inner mad scientist. Be as wild and crazy as you want, provided you also take into account an element of strategy. The game also has a lot of replayability because of its multiple modules and ever-changing map.
We hope you found these strategy games interesting enough to check them out. If you’d like to get your hands on any of these or similar games, be sure to check out our online shop.
