Description

The Hunt is a thrilling asymmetric duel that drops you into the midst of World War II, where one player takes on the role of the British Royal Navy and the other represents the German Kriegsmarine. With its easy-to-learn rules, you'll be immersed in the action in no time, navigating the challenges of a cat-and-mouse game set in the South Atlantic. The German player must use stealth and strategy to sink five cargo ships while evading the British fleet, while the British player must use their numerical superiority to hunt down and engage the Admiral Graf Spee in a final showdown. As you play, you'll experience the tension and uncertainty of naval warfare, with each player having their own deck of cards to drive their actions and decisions. The game's unique blend of hidden movement, bluffing, and deduction mechanics creates a deeply engaging experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With a playtime of just 20 to 45 minutes, The Hunt is the perfect game for a quick but intense gaming session. Designed by Matthias Cramer and Engin Cramer, and published in 2023, this game is a must-try for fans of nautical and World War II-themed games, or anyone looking for a fun and challenging experience.
