"War Game""War Game"

by P. K. Dick

To copy from the wikipedia entry

The Ganymedans are considering war with Earth. A group of Earth toy safety inspectors examine three new toys from Ganymede to discover if they should be allowed to be imported: A toy soldier game where 12 soldiers attack a citadel, a virtual reality suit, and Syndrome, a Monopoly-like board game.

It's quite a "oh. ... OH!" kind of story and can be read as a commentary on the value of play as a tool for learning. By extension it can be read as a warning about helicopter parenting, though from the publication date (1959) I don't believe that was quite as widespread as it has become in recent decades.

It seems to be available from archive.org.
