Gamer cheat sheets
Strategy guides are books, websites, or videos that help players complete video games.
They provide walkthroughs, maps, tips for defeating bosses, and locations of hidden items.
Before the internet made such information freely available, printed strategy guides sold alongside games in stores.
The term extends to guides for board games, card games, or competitive pursuits: I found a strategy guide for winning at poker.
