Auch genieß Strategiespiele.
Placing ‘auch’ before the verb changes the emphasis and can sound unnatural in a simple imperative.

‘Strategiespiel’ is singular; the sentence calls for the plural because it refers to strategy games in general.

Cultural Tip
In German-speaking countries, board‑game cafés and online strategy titles like ‘Die Siedler von Catan’ or ‘Anno’ are very popular. Using the informal imperative (Genieß) signals a close, friendly relationship, so reserve it for peers or younger listeners. In formal contexts you would say ‘Genießen Sie …’. Also, Germans often differentiate between ‘Strategiespiele’ (computer/board) and ‘Brettspiele’, so be clear about the medium if needed.
