Area Control
layers are tasked with controlling an area of a board or map. Most of these games revolve around controlling area by placing player resources there like armies or workers, which can be removed by enemy players.
These are very strategic games that usually require a paying attention to what’s going on over a large area of map and controlling a lot of units. For that reason, these games are some of the hardest for newer players to get into.
E.g.:
- Risk
- Twilight Imperium
- Gaia Project
- Twilight Struggle
