Atlantic Storm

In Atlantic Storm, you dive into a unique take on trick-taking games, where cards represent the units that attacked or defended Allied convoys in the North Atlantic throughout World War II. Each round, the lead player selects a convoy that traversed either the Arctic or the Atlantic in a given year (1940-1943), then declares whether the battle will be fought in the air, on the surface of the ocean, or under the sea. They then play a unit, either German or Allied, that was available in the chosen year and could fight in the chosen environment. Other players subsequently either pass or play a unit (of either nationality) that meets the same conditions. Once all players have made their selections, dice may be rolled to determine whether the Germans or the Allies won. The player who contributed the most to the winning team gets to decide how the convoy and the opposing enemy ships (which are all worth victory points and possibly an increased hand size) are to be distributed amongst the players who were on the winning side. After twenty convoys have been fought over in this manner, the player with the most victory points' worth of convoys and captured ships wins the game! If you enjoy a historical and tactical twist on card games, Atlantic Storm might be a great pick.
