Which War Board Games Are You Most Likely to Win?

Home / Board Games / Which War Board Games Are You Most Likely to Win?

Tired of losing all the war board games you play with friends? Don’t fret. Perhaps you just need a refresher to get your strategic juices flowing again. And it just so happens that there are at least five games you can win without even trying very hard. If you’re interested in what they are, keep reading.

What are war board games?

Pretending to be in battle is the basis for most competitive games. However, war board games feature pieces and rules that mimic actual combat. As a result, conquering land is a common objective for players.

Here’s the catch though: combat can be pretty much anything you make it, plus all is fair in love and war. So, teaming up with other players to form an alliance is often essential. Still, there’s a lot more to this than simply choosing the right teammates. You have to pick a fun game as well.

Just because a game is easy doesn’t mean you’ll always win. There are a bunch of variables you must consider and each opponent plays differently. But you can increase your chances of success by familiarizing yourself with these five popular options. HINT: They’re all family-friendly and pretty simple to learn too.

  1. Risk – In this game, you battle an opponent to take over a fantasy world while defending your own territory.
  2. Chess – Here, you fight for victory by reaching the other side of the board through a series of strategic movements.
  3. Stratego – Use spies and deception to capture your enemy’s flag and win the game.
  4. Battleship – Guess your opponent’s coordinates to destroy their naval fleet and conquer their armies.
  5. Axis and Allies – With this one, you command supreme world powers to become the ruler of all.

Keep in mind that each of these war board games requires a different number of players. So, be sure to read the box before inviting your friends.

TIP: Regardless of the game you choose, always have a pen and paper handy so you can keep track of the score or take notes.

Tips for winning the war board games you love

They say you win some and you lose some, but that’s only for the people who don’t prepare for battle. But you’ve got this handled because you’ve covered the following bases:

  • Study the instructions. This is the best way to learn how to play because it helps you develop fair and accurate perspectives.
  • Develop a strategy. That way, you’ll be able to predict certain parts of the game before they steal your victory.
  • Practice a few rounds. If possible, ask a friend to play a couple of games until you get the hang of it.

If all else fails, play a game against yourself to discover your performance shortcomings. Afterwards, you’ll be ready to tackle more complex war games like Magic the Gathering (MTG) and Dungeons and Dragons (D&D).

The takeaway

Playing war board games can be a lot of fun, but it can also be frustrating if you don’t know the rules. Have a good time by starting with simple games, and then work your way up from there.
