Most strategy games are made from a whole lot of simpler decisions each of which can be made into mini games themselves. I am looking for examples. I imagine simplifying the problems like this will help learn the answers and win strategy games. The following are some I know.

Diplomacy (board game)
Diplomacy or part of it. Make the right alliances and backstab at the right time.

Poker (card game)
Bluff. Does the other guy have what he is acting like he has. This is part of diplomacy.

TripleAAA (board game)
Force concentration advantage in combat vs keeping resource production safe or raiding it.
