The MicroGame line by Metagaming Concepts consisted of tabletop microgames published from 1977 to 1982.
History[edit]
Shannon Appelcline describes its origin: "Metagaming's big breakout came [in 1977], when [Howard] Thompson came up with a new concept: the MicroGame. The idea of a MicroGame was simple. It was a very small game with a compact map, a limited set of components and a short set of rules. The whole thing was packaged in a small ziplock bag and initially sold for $2.95. The games were quite cheap for the market at the time but nonetheless allowed for a good amount of enjoyment and replay ability."[1]:78-79
Metagaming Concepts first used the term "MicroGame" when they released Ogre, MicroGame #1 in 1977.[2][3]
