Wiki claims in its original incarnation it was meant to be an (abstract) representation of war … which technically makes it a wargame.

Anyways … off topic and a technicality that’s not relevant here.

Boardgamers may not care about miniatures, but they are affected by marketing and name dropping like the rest of us.

And they are very much into the ‘cult of the new/shiny’ like us as well. Maybe even more so as they are likely to buy more games as expansions (while available) are not yet reached the insanity as wargames have got (especially the GW games … )
