Description
The Forever War is a classic science fiction board game that drops you into the third millennium, where squad-level combat rages on airless portal planets. As one of 2 to 4 players, you'll navigate the challenges of interstellar travel, where time dilation means that only weeks or months pass for your troops, while decades fly by in the rest of the universe. This means that the enemy you encounter on the battlefield could be shockingly advanced or quaintly outdated, keeping you on your toes. With a modular board and hexagon grid, each game is a unique experience, full of surprises and challenges. The game's normal complexity makes it easy for board game fans to pick up, and its blend of science fiction and wargame elements creates a thrilling experience. First published in 1983, The Forever War remains a gripping and unpredictable ride, with each 60-minute playthrough offering a fresh chance to outmaneuver your opponents and emerge victorious.
