About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey gamers! Ready for a quick dose of history and strategy? Battle Card: Market Garden is that game that fits in your pocket and your schedule, perfect for those who enjoy a no-fuss military challenge. In about 5 minutes, you'll find yourself commanding the Allied airborne divisions (1st, 82nd, and 101st) on a crucial mission: ensuring the 30th Corps reaches Arnhem, Netherlands, during the famous Operation Market Garden of World War II. The objective is clear: control sectors and pave the way, all within just six turns. If the 30th Corps doesn't arrive on time, defeat is certain! The game uses a dice-rolling system and a straightforward combat results table (CRT) to resolve clashes against the Germans. The advantage shifts based on luck and your decisions. It's a 'postcard game' style, meaning it's super compact and easy to print and play at home. Ideal for those who want to relive a pivotal war moment quickly and engagingly, testing your tactics against enemy forces. Language dependency is minimal, making immersion even easier. If you enjoy solo, quick wargames with a striking historical theme, this one's for you!
