Description

Broadside is a classic naval combat board game that's easy to learn and fun to play. Published in 1962, it's a great introduction to wargaming, especially for those interested in Napoleonic-era naval battles. Players take turns maneuvering their ships on a grid, trying to gain the perfect position to fire their cannons and destroy their enemy's masts. With its simple rules and variable setup, Broadside offers a unique experience each time you play. The game includes plastic miniatures, adding a tactile element to the gameplay. As you navigate the high seas, you'll need to be mindful of land-based batteries of cannons that guard certain ports, making the game a fun and challenging experience for two players. A typical game lasts around 45 minutes, making it a great option for a quick and engaging gaming session.
