The recent XCOM game, to some extent meets your criteria (a few bugs aside). Every move matters and must be carefully planned, there are very few actions you can carry out that don’t carry a chance of failure. You quickly learn when you can afford to be ambitious, and when you need to have a back up plan if things go wrong. Even better, in Ironman mode your ~30 hour save can easily be more or less ruined in a single turn if you make particularly poor choices (or get very, very unlucky) and you have no save game to resume—you have to start over from the beginning.
My experience talking to other people playing it isn’t, however, particularly promising when it comes to implicit teaching. One friend has complained every single time he’s missed a 98% chance (“it’s bullshit”), even when I pointed out that you make thousands of attacks over the course of a game and should expect to see multiple misses at those odds.
If you haven’t seen it before, this is an entertaining video series that demonstrates the salient points quickly.
