A strange little side quest
One reason strategy games keeps producing good game ideas around War Groups is that its history is full of strange turns. Modern chess traces back to the Indian game chaturanga, recorded around the sixth century and built around pieces representing parts of an army. And the history keeps stacking up: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. So a round of War Groups is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer strategy games timeline.
