MicroGame

For other uses of the term "microgame", see Microgame.

The MicroGame line by Metagaming Concepts consisted of tabletop microgames published from 1977 to 1982.

History

In 1977, Metagaming Concepts designer Howard Thompson came up with a new type of small, inexpensive, and fast wargame with a limited number of counters, a small map and a short rulebook, each packaged in a plastic zipper storage bag. The games at first sold for $2.95, much cheaper than standard-sized boxed wargames of the time.[1] As game historian Shannon Appelcline noted in the 2014 book Designers & Dragons, "The games were quite cheap for the market at the time but nonetheless allowed for a good amount of enjoyment and replayability."[1]: 78–79 

Metagaming Concepts first used the term "MicroGame" when they released Ogre, MicroGame #1 in 1977.[2][3]
