Maps & Strategies

A strategy-centered class using map games to explore geography, terrain, movement, borders, resources, conflict, and long-range planning.

This class

  • Students use self-paced work to build background in geography, map reading, history, and strategic vocabulary
  • Weekly live online events build on that work through strategy map games, group decisions, play review, and discussion
  • Students think about terrain, movement, borders, resources, tradeoffs, and decision-making over time
  • The class can connect game situations back to real geography, historical patterns, and strategic choices

What families should know

  • Games, platforms, and materials vary by session and are shared before kickoff
  • Students should expect both gameplay and discussion-based analysis
  • Different sessions may emphasize historical context, geography, or strategy to different degrees
  • No advanced background is required unless a future session says otherwise
