Description
In 1985: Deadly Northern Lights, 2 to 4 players are thrown into the midst of modern warfare, navigating a complex web of grid movement, dice rolling, and strategic combat. Published in 2020 and designed by Fabrizio Vianello, this game is not for the faint of heart - its rules are complicated and will challenge even seasoned board game enthusiasts. With a playtime that can range from 180 to 5000 minutes, you'll need to be prepared to dive deep into the world of wargaming, where scenario-based gameplay and variable set-up ensure that no two battles are ever the same. As you move your units across the hexagon grid, you'll need to use movement points and ratio-based combat results tables to outmaneuver your opponents and emerge victorious - all set against the backdrop of a hypothetical conflict in the frozen north, where the deadly beauty of the northern lights is matched only by the deadly intensity of the warfare unfolding below.
