Strategy Challenges Collection 1 (also known as Strategy Games of the World) is a fun educational video game. It was created by a company called Edmark in 1995. A second game, Strategy Challenges Collection 2: In the Wild, was released a few years later in 1997. These games help you learn to think strategically while having fun!
How to Play
These games are all about using your brain to plan ahead. They are called strategy games because you need to think about your moves carefully to win. You can play against the computer or challenge a friend!
Games in Collection 1
The first game, Strategy Challenges Collection 1, includes three classic strategy games:
- Nine men's morris: A game where you try to make lines of three pieces.
- Gomoku: A game similar to Tic-Tac-Toe, but you need five in a row.
- Mancala: An ancient game where you collect and move seeds around a board.
Games in Collection 2
The second game, Strategy Challenges Collection 2: In the Wild, features three different strategy games:
- Tablut: A Viking-era game where you protect a king.
- Jungle: Also called "Jungle Chess," this game lets animals battle each other.
- Surakarta: A unique game from Indonesia with special capture moves.
Playing Against the Computer
When you play against the computer, you can choose how hard the game will be. There are three difficulty levels. You can also decide if the computer opponent will play to attack you (offensively) or focus on defending its own pieces (defensively).
There are six different computer characters you can play against. Each character has their own style and appears on a different level in each game. If you play against another person, the difficulty levels won't change how the game works.
