Description

Get ready to dive into the world of naval warfare with Guadalcanal, a classic board game designed by S. Craig Taylor. Published in 1992, this game is perfect for two players who are looking for a challenging and immersive experience. With playtime ranging from 90 to 240 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to strategize and outmaneuver your opponent. The game's normal complexity makes it easy to learn for those familiar with board games, but don't be fooled - the gameplay is engaging and requires careful planning. In Guadalcanal, each player has their own map of the Solomon Islands, which they use to secretly deploy their fleet and search for their enemy's ships. The game mechanics of hexagon grid and secret unit deployment add a layer of realism and excitement to the gameplay. As you search for your opponent's fleet, you'll use search planes to gather information and then send in bombers to attack. The battle is fought on a separate board, where you'll place your ships and planes in a tactical dance. With additional rules for CAP fighters, surface actions, and bases, the game offers a rich and realistic experience. For the ultimate challenge, consider playing with a neutral referee for true double-blind gameplay.
