Hi
I just like designing games – I don’t really have a clue how to categorise them. Can somebody tell me, or direct me to a place where I can find the answers to three questions –
1) What is the difference between a ‘tactic’ and a ‘strategy’? Both are loosely dictionary defined as ‘plans’. People talk of ‘tactical’ games and ‘strategy’ games – what’s the difference?
2) What is a game ‘system’?
3) What is the difference between ‘type’ and ‘genre’?

Thanks everybody. I think I've got that. Perhaps it'll be even clearer when I've had a couple of drinks :)
Regards
Robin
