4X
4X games are all about building your empire from scratch and slowly taking over the world—one hex at a time. You explore the map, expand your territory, exploit every resource you can find, and eventually exterminate anyone who gets in your way. Whether you’re managing a space empire, a fantasy kingdom, or a nation of talking mushrooms, 4X games are perfect for players who love big-picture strategy, long-term planning, and the occasional betrayal of their closest allies. Expect deep systems, late nights, and lots of “just one more turn.”
