About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to relive 1942 in "War in the Pacific: A WW2 Roll & Write Game"! Japan is making major moves across the Pacific, but the US isn't backing down and launches a wild island-hopping campaign. Your mission? Lead the American forces to victory or face a negotiated settlement. Amidst strategic attacks, bombings, and the mad race for supremacy, you'll need to manage resources wisely. Think Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa – just a few of the hot targets. And the cherry on top? The Manhattan Project! Diverting funds to develop the atomic bomb could be the trump card to end it all quickly, but be careful not to leave the main campaign shorthanded. Ultimately, the decision is yours: a massive, risky land invasion of Japan or the use of strategic and nuclear bombs. Every choice has its price, and the pressure only mounts. With fast-paced dice rolling and resource management, every play counts to determine if you'll achieve glory or face defeat. It's World War II in the palm of your hand, in a quick and direct format!
