Description

Singapore is a two-player wargame that drops you into the midst of World War II, specifically the Japanese invasion of British Malaya. This operational-scale game has you commanding units that represent brigades and regiments, and the action unfolds across two maps: a large-scale map of Malaya and a more detailed map of Singapore island. The game starts with the Japanese pushing through Malaya, and as the game heats up, the action shifts to the smaller Singapore map, where the Japanese launch a fierce assault on the island. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of around 120 minutes, Singapore offers a fun and challenging experience for two players. The game mechanics, which include dice rolling, grid movement, and a hexagon grid, add a layer of strategy and simulation to the gameplay. As a wargame that combines elements of action and dexterity, Singapore will keep you on the edge of your seat as you navigate the complexities of World War II-era combat. First published in 1984, Singapore has stood the test of time, and its blend of historical accuracy and engaging gameplay makes it a must-play for fans of the genre.
