Strategy games are at their best when you can take your time and make the best decisions to grow yourself and demolish the enemy, and there's no better device to do that with than the Steam Deck. Being able to set down long games and come back to them later is essential for those with busy lives, especially fathers, and the Deck is the perfect device for that. This is what makes TactiCon such a huge deal!

TactiCon is a showcase and festival that is hosted by Firesquid and Hooded Horse, with the latter of the two publishing some of my favorite strategy titles that I have ever played. This includes the brand new release Norland, which feels like Rimworld if there was a bigger focus on economy and management instead of individuals in a colony.
The festival has an event on Steam as well, with games on sale to celebrate, so here is a list of some of our favorites that I highly recommend getting on your Steam Deck:
