Games emphasizing thinking, long term strategy, and decision making. Goals tend to be more abstract than action or adventure games; for comparison, in Pac-Man, an action game you are controlling Pac-Man, and your goal is to eat all the dots while avoiding monsters. In Ultima, an adventure, you are The Avatar, and your goal is to kill an evil wizard or find a resolution to some crisis in Britannia. In chess, a strategy game, you are not represented by any particular piece on the board, not even the king, but your side's success or failure depends on your decisions.
