Wargames Institute

Complex systems such as war, politics, economics, technology, and history are difficult to understand because they involve too many variables. One of the most powerful tools ever developed to study these systems is the playable model.

Wargames, simulations, and strategic games simplify reality into manageable systems while preserving the forces that actually shape outcomes. Inside these models, we can experiment with decisions, test strategies, and observe consequences in a controlled environment.

On this channel, we will analyze historical conflicts, modern strategy, economics, and complex problems using wargames, simulations, and playable systems. We will also design models from scratch to explore real-world questions and demonstrate how abstraction can turn complexity into insight. And sometimes we just play fun wargames!
