Chess is an old game. Starcraft is the updated version of chess, with build orders and hidden information. Starcraft retains the value of doing the right thing even when blind, and building up logical series of actions from past experience.
I don't know if you get to choose between chess and cards. In Starcraft (and chess to a lesser degree) you still have risks in the unknown that can be mapped as a probability function. For a given build order you may know that the best unit is X, but there's still a chance your opponent produces a unit that is counter-valent to the optimal.
In finance or cards you still have information about concrete events like ipo launch dates and cards have chips that are always shown and a number of cards remaining, that do not require probabilities to know or exploit.
Which one takes more prominence depends on the task at hand. And if one is prominent, the other strategy is nestled inside and shrouds from above.
