I would like for you to place yourself in the shoes of an ancient Roman soldier. What games would you play if you were that soldier. Think in terms of both games that were contemporary to ancient Roman times as well as some modern video games. If I were a soldier during Roman times I think i'd most likely play tic-tac-toe and chess. Both games can be categorized as strategic games. When it comes to being a soldier I think it requires good strategy so playing these games I think would build my strategic thinking. Both games are also relatively fun and could easily be be turned into tournaments with a possibility of prize pools. Who wouldn't wanna earn money from playing a fun game? Chess is also a war type game if you think about it. Your trying to take the opponents king. So chess would probably put in good preparation for fighting. Not saying Chess, a game is training me by any means for battle but it would boost my morale into wanting to participate in combat. If Romans had video games back then, video games i'd play would probably be Rainbow 6 and Counter Strike for the same reason I'd play chess. Both games are very strategic and capture the objective based. In Conclusion the two games I would play would be Chess and Tic Tac Toe, both being very fun games to pass time and both are very strategic based games requiring you to think out side of the box to beat your opponent. Chess would be my first option of choice then it would Tic Tac Toe. The if Romans had modern games I would play Rainbow 6 and Counter Strike as my two video games.
