What Makes a ‘Good’ Strategy Game and Why Are Some So Addictive?

A good strategy game is like a puzzle that gets harder, and more fun, the better you get at it. Imagine building a castle with blocks, but each block has special powers. You can’t just stack them randomly; you have to plan ahead. That’s what makes some games so addictive: they feel like your brain is getting stronger every time you win.
