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, all packaged in a ziplock bag. It initially sold for $2.95, much cheaper than standard-sized boxed wargames of the time. 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."

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