Strategy Games
Strategy here means resource decisions under pressure rather than long campaigns. Most of these give you an income that regenerates slowly and units that counter each other, so the interesting choice is when to spend rather than what to build. Committing everything to an early push is the mistake almost every new player makes, because the counterattack always arrives. Matches run short enough that a bad read costs minutes rather than an evening.

Strategy Games FAQ
How long is a match?
Usually a few minutes. These are built around one or two key decisions rather than a long build-up, so a game is decided well before anything resembling a late game arrives.
Do I need to know strategy games to play these?
No. The counter relationships are shallow enough to learn by losing twice, and none of them expect genre knowledge. Watching what the opponent fields before committing is most of the skill.
