A strange little side quest
One reason strategy games keeps producing good game ideas around Toy War Robot Therizinosaurus is that its history is full of strange turns. Games resembling checkers were being played thousands of years ago; evidence of related games reaches back to around 1600 BC. And the history keeps stacking up: Boxing was part of the ancient Olympic Games by 688 BC, long before gloves, weight classes, or timed rounds existed in anything like their modern form. So a round of Toy War Robot Therizinosaurus is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer strategy games timeline.
