Description

Grand Fleet is a game of naval warfare that drops you into the midst of World War I, where you'll battle for control of the North Sea and British and German home waters. As a strategic-level game, it gives you a broad overview of the historical events, but don't worry, it's not all about complicated rules and tedious gameplay - the rules are easy to learn, so you can dive right in. With area movement and dice rolling, you'll be navigating your ships and engaging in battles in no time, all while trying to outmaneuver your opponent. As a two-player game, Grand Fleet is perfect for some friendly competition, and with playtime ranging from 120 to 240 minutes, you can expect a decent-sized gaming session. The game's designer, Stephen Newberg, drew inspiration from Avalon Hill's War At Sea, but Grand Fleet has its own unique twist, reflecting the specific circumstances of World War I. The result is a game that's both fun to play and historically grounded, making it a great choice for fans of nautical and wargames alike. So if you're ready to set sail and take command of your own fleet, Grand Fleet is the perfect game for you.
