The best wargames, ranked
Wargames have a scary reputation they no longer deserve. Yes, the deep end goes very deep, but the modern shallow end includes brisk two-player battles you can teach in ten minutes and finish inside an hour, with real tension the whole way.
Ranked by BGG rating, these are the wargames of the Top 300, spanning quick block games, card-driven classics, and grand epics worth a whole weekend.
