The Other Side of the Hill - NAC Wargames - 3 Players - Andy Bouffard
The Other Side of the Hill is a boardgame that simulates the effects that this struggle for power within the German High Command had on the development of the Second World War. Players represent military leaders cooperating and competing as they manage Germany's wartime strategy. To win, they must vie for Prestige by advancing the careers of their favored Army and Army Group commanders, grabbing their share of victories while the early-war pickings are easy, then avoiding responsibility for battlefield disasters as the Soviets and the Western Allies solidify and push back. Scale: Board game |

Wir Sind das Volk! - Histogame Board Game - 3 Players - Andy Bouffard
Wir sind das Volk! ("We are the people!" — the main slogan of the East German demonstrators in 1989) recreates the history of the divided Germany, from the Berlin Airlift to the fall of the Berlin Wall. There are many possible strategies. Will East Germany build the Wall or stem the exodus of its citizens another way? Four players form two partnerships: the USA and West Germany versus the USSR and East Germany. However, there can be only ONE winner! This fact makes every decision a nail-biter: What is more important right now? Your side's interests or your own? Scale: Board game |
