Why I’m Playing These 10 Short Strategy Games Between Work and Family Life

After playing strategy games for 25 years, I’ve found a collection of what I call ‘Micro-Strategy’ games – titles that offer deep, thoughtful gameplay without requiring huge time commitments. These aren’t simple casual games; they’re complex experiences that are respectful of your busy life. I personally keep these 10 games installed so I can enjoy a quick tactical challenge whenever I have a few free minutes – whether it’s during lunch or while taking a break from childcare.
