Free strategy games to play online

Strategy games are games won by planning and decision-making rather than reflexes. On Gameziko they include tower defense, real-time and turn-based battles, empire building and tactical puzzles. Every strategy game is free and plays in your browser with no download or account.

In a strategy game you manage limited resources, such as gold, units or towers, and choose where to spend them. Tower defense games, where you place defenses along a path, are the most popular browser strategy format because they are easy to learn but hard to master.

How to choose a good strategy game

• In tower defense, place towers where the path bends so enemies stay in range longer.
• Balance attack and economy; spending everything on units leaves no room to grow.
• Turn-based games give you time to think, so check enemy ranges before each move.
