Gotcha. So the reason I'm seeing a parallel between what I call "simulation games" and strategy board games is that Sim-*, *-Tycoon, and so on are actually strategy games to begin with. And "simulation games" aren't a medium, they're a genre -like "science fiction" or "horror". An important distinction.

So can strategy games be defined as "games in which the player manages complex systems"?
