Welcome to the world of conflict simulations!

"Consims" are board games that are not only designed to entertain, but also to teach knowledge and build strategic thinking. They broach the issue of historical wars, as well as current or hypothetical political, military and economic conflicts. Students of history know that "war is hell", as U.S. general Sherman once said. Hence our motto: Make games, not war!
