About the game
What you do in a play session
In Hitler’s Reich, players battle for control of Europe, crossing the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and pushing into Russia. Combat is resolved with a system reminiscent of the classic card game 'War,' but with the addition of dice for that touch of unpredictability. High-quality wooden pieces mark progress on the board, while the game unfolds through economic, political, and military decisions. All of this is driven by Event Cards, which are the heart of the system.
There are three distinct Event decks: one for the Axis, one for the Allies, and a third from which both sides can attempt to draw. These cards represent crucial wartime events, allowing players to influence the course of events and react to opposing strategies. Hitler’s Reich is the first title in the 'Card Conquest System' series, which aims to recreate major historical military conflicts in games that are quick to set up, relatively simple to learn, yet challenging to master. The idea is that you can play a complete campaign in a single session, feeling like you're in command of strategic operations without the excessive complexity of a pure simulation. It's a game that balances historical flavor, excitement, and impactful decision-making.
