Description

The Schlieffen Plan is a gripping board game that drops you into the midst of World War I, where you'll take on the role of commander of either the German or Allied armies. Set in 1914, the game simulates the campaigns in France and Belgium, where the great powers of Europe clashed in a conflict that would change the course of history. With a 24"x17" map and 560 backprinted counters, you'll have a detailed and immersive experience as you navigate the complexities of war. The game's normal complexity rules make it accessible to anyone familiar with board games, and with a playtime of 360 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to develop your strategy and execute your plans. As you play, you'll be faced with the challenges of executing your own plans, making strategic decisions, and adapting to the unpredictable nature of war. The game's mechanics, including dice rolling, grid movement, and hexagon grid, all work together to create a simulation that's both realistic and engaging. With the fate of Europe hanging in the balance, you'll need to use all your skills and cunning to outmaneuver your opponent and emerge victorious. Will you be able to change the course of history, or will you succumb to the same mistakes that led to the stalemate of trench warfare? There's only one way to find out – take command and see if you have what it takes to succeed where others failed.
