How to play
- 1Open playstrategy.org in a desktop or mobile browser. It is the official site; avoid “unblocked” mirrors.
- 2The homepage doesn't say whether you need an account. Many games here let you play as a guest and register later to keep progress.
- 3The homepage doesn't list controls, so we don't guess. Most games show a tutorial or a “how to play” screen on first launch.
