## Strategery Description
Dominate the world. One blob at a time.

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.

## Strategery Reviews in United States

### *---- "Terrible"
Checkers is more challenging.
-- Eriptron, 2026-04-19

### ***** "Online play????"
This once got me through a 3 hour delay with strangers lol please create online mode. It’s better than risk
-- HealingWave, 2025-12-10

### ****- "Needs updating"
Really could use pinch to zoom added for modern devices!
-- Snow4C3, 2025-07-23

### *---- "Needs an update"
Love the game, but it needs an update as it always crashed. Last update was 8 years ago!!!
-- Takopo, 2025-06-26

### ***-- "Fun but RNG is rigged"
Love these type of games. It’s like “Dice Wars” that I would play in flash back in high school. But man is it frustrating when the AI attacks at disadvantage and wins over and over again, then you lose battles with 2 or 3 dice advantage over and over again. Just watching my dice the AI rolls many more 5s and 6s then 1s and 2s, and opposite for me. Bad luck for the player seems to be built in even on normal difficulty and that’s a cheap way to bake in difficulty.
-- Headgamerz, 2025-03-29

### ***** "Needs its online play function restored"
Still the best and lightest Risk-like game for iOS, but it's gone years without modernizing updates. As of 2025, it seems impossible to use online battles due to an error happening upon trying to register a username. No username is registered, no account made etc, no logging in, no playing. Offline modes still work however.
-- julianajaeger, 2025-02-19

### ****- "Nice game"
I love this game however, they haven’t update it in a while. It crashes whenever you lose a game. Will not let you restart the game like it used to. Again, it crashes. But I still love to play it.
-- BlueMtWolf, 2025-01-24

### ***** "Great"
This is the best app I’ve ever downloaded on my phone, I’ve played it regularly 5+, across multiple phones it’s always the most played game I have. No ads, no in app purchases, just a good game I play to pass time.
-- chris c17, 2024-12-06

### ***** "2024 anyone?"
This game is still very good!
-- obowdupuy, 2024-09-26

### ****- "Great almost perfect!"
I’ve been playing this game for several years. It’s a wonderful simplistic game that passes the time nicely… In the higher levels of play, it does require some real strategy. The one complaint I have is this. In the smaller maps, competition AI gets a little illogical, broken down and downright impossible for most battle scenarios. The AI competitors can beat you with a 2 vs 3 Army attack many many times and you’re never able to beat them when you have 2 armies vs their 3.  Also, often times the three AI armies will gang up on you or ignore obvious strategic advantages by attacking either empty spaces or other AI colors.  It’s a glitch and they probably will never fix it but it’s just something that I’ve noticed and recorded on video several times.  If the developers are willing to discuss this with me I’d be happy to share my evidence.   Again, otherwise this is a really fun game and super simple that has survived the many upgrades of iPhone to still be a part of my game catalog!
