- 📦Strategery updated to version 4.18A beautiful new icon. And true elimination of any annoying stalemates, forevermore.
- 📦Strategery updated to version 4.15This update has two major fixes.
Some players found that Strategery used too much battery life on their devices. This update fixes those issues. We love your battery.
And one of the biggest feature requests from long-time players: If you use peripheral reinforcement placements, we enforce that computer opponents must do the same. Yay!… more - 🆕Strategery: its developer released another app: The Universe, Controlled
- 📦Strategery updated to version 4.13Occasionally, some games with large maps could get stuck in a stalemate, when you were down to two countries and one chokepoint. This update ensures no such stalemates ever occur anymore. You deserve better. This is it.
Another update saves you a tap, by making it a touch (haha) easier to start a game as you preview maps. Just tap on your color blob to select the map.
This update also vastly improves VoiceOver, which was already pretty good!… more - 📈Strategery entered the top 100Top Paid · Games · ES

About Strategery
World domination isn't a very fashionable ambition these days, but that doesn't mean you can't pretend. Strategery is a battle between your pegs and the green, orange, blue, and red blobs that dare to stand in your way.
It's also a little bit of App Store history. Strategery first launched in 2008, back when the App Store was barely a few months old. Macworld named it the Best Strategy Game of 2009. Slate called it their latest iPhone gaming habit. Daring Fireball said the gameplay had a great feel. And a Macworld reviewer named Lex Friedman wrote that there was no game he played on his iPhone more.
That reviewer now makes Strategery. Life is funny.
HOW IT'S PLAYED
The world is made of blobs. Every blob holds pegs — your pegs, ideally. Pick a blob you own, point at a neighboring blob you don't, and roll. More pegs, better odds. Win the roll and the blob changes color. Lose it and, well, you still have your other blobs.
Keep going until the whole map is your color and everyone else is looking for the rematch button.
Your turn, your dice, your questionable decisions
Bigger stacks of pegs win more rolls. Usually.
Every blob you hold earns you more pegs
Last color standing dominates the world. Politely.
THREE WAYS TO CONQUER
Solo: Play against the computer. It has no friends, no feelings, and no plans this evening. It will happily lose to you all night. (Or not. You choose how clever it gets to be.)
Online: Play against your friends. Take turns from wherever you are. A push notification lets you know when it's your move, or when someone has done something regrettable to your blobs.
Pass and play: One phone, one couch, several rivals. Hand it over, let them try, and try not to gloat.
CLASSIC OR CHAOS
Classic is the game you remember: dice, blobs, and your own poor judgment. Chaos adds starred blobs. Capture one and the wheel spins. Your conquest has consequences.
Either way, you pick how much world there is to dominate.
A WAR WITH NO CASUALTIES
Blobs don't bleed. Pegs don't feel pain. Nothing explodes, nobody gets hurt, and the only thing that ever gets conquered is a colorful shape on a map. Somebody's pride may be wounded when you take their last blob, but that's between the two of you.
For iPhone and iPad. Contains no violence, several dice, a healthy number of blobs, and a reasonable amount of whimsy.
Strategery was originally designed by Sumul Shah, Courtland Idstrom, and Peter Ju. This version comes from Lex Friedman, who is one person and would be delighted by a rating or review.
It's not strategy. It's Strategery.
