Description

Blocks in the West is a World War II conflict simulation game that lets you relive the most decisive battles fought in the European Theater Front. With a unique wooden blocks and cubes system, you'll navigate a massive 124x87cm map board, making strategic decisions as the Western Allies or Germany and Italy. The game is designed for 1 to 4 players, and even solo players can get in on the action, controlling both sides with the added challenge of Fog of War. As you play, you'll experience the thrill of modifying the course of World War II, with each hexagon representing 44 miles of territory and each game turn spanning a month. With over 900 wooden and plastic components, the game is as immersive as it is challenging, especially with its complex rules that may take some time to learn. But don't worry, the rules are divided into sections, allowing you to learn as you go and add more complexity and realism to the game as you become more comfortable.
