  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)

  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Baldies is like

Strategy games reward planning over reflexes: command armies, manage resources and outthink opponents on turn-based or real-time battlefields.

Tip for newcomers: Read the manual or tutorial if one exists: retro strategy games often assume you know their rules. Save between missions.
