Abstract Strategy

To quote J. Mark Thompson from his article, "Defining the Abstract":

"There is an intimate relationship between such games and puzzles: every board position presents the player with the puzzle, What is the best move?, which in theory could be solved by logic alone. A good abstract game can therefore be thought of as a "family" of potentially interesting logic puzzles, and the play consists of each player posing such a puzzle to the other. Good players are the ones who find the most difficult puzzles to present to their opponents."

Try it out. Play SPLUT on your iPad or download the gamerules-PDF and print some playing pieces (or use some of your own liking). Then throw yourself into a mindboggling tactical battle. Which Sorcerer is the last to stand, and leave the arena as a grandmaster?
