The Resource Management tag represents a gameplay mechanic or feature commonly found in strategy games, simulation games, and some role-playing games. It refers to the management and allocation of limited resources within the game's mechanics.

In games with resource management elements, players are tasked with collecting, using, and distributing resources effectively to progress through the game. These resources can take many forms—such as currency, raw materials, energy, food, or population—and are often limited in supply.

To succeed in a resource management game, players must make strategic decisions on how to best utilize their available resources. This may involve balancing short-term needs with long-term goals or prioritizing certain resources over others based on their importance within the game's mechanics.

Examples of resource management games include:

• Anno series In the Anno series of city-building games like Anno 1800, players need to manage various resources such as production chains for goods and services while expanding their cities.
• RimWorld This indie survival simulation game requires players to manage a colony's limited supplies of food, medicine, building materials while dealing with external threats.
• Frostpunk Set in a steampunk world where survival is paramount; this strategy game challenges players to manage heat sources and scarce supplies such as coal and food amidst unforgiving weather conditions.
• XCOM 2 A turn-based tactical strategy game where players must strategically allocate resources like soldiers' time for training or missions while managing research efforts against an alien invasion.

Resource management adds depth and complexity to gameplay by requiring careful planning and decision-making from players. It adds a layer of challenge as players must balance efficient use of resources with achieving their goals within the game's mechanics.
