Description
Never Surrender is a World War II board game designed by Fran Diaz that's all about strategy and outmaneuvering your opponents. With two to three players, you'll navigate a point-to-point map of Europe, vying for control of key locations and routes. The game's complexity is just right - not too overwhelming for experienced board game fans, but still engaging and challenging. As you play, you'll build and manage your own deck of 24 cards, each representing the quality and abilities of your forces. You'll also draw from a common deck of 75 cards, featuring events, units, and production places from World War II in Europe. The game's mechanics are where things get really interesting. You'll use area majority and influence to gain control of key areas, while also managing your hand and building your deck to suit your strategy. The variable player powers add an extra layer of depth to the game, making each playthrough unique. As you move your units around the map, you'll engage in battles and contests for air and naval supremacy, using the factors shown on each card to determine the outcome. With a playtime of up to 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to develop your strategy and outmaneuver your opponents. And with the game's focus on deck-building and hand management, you'll need to think carefully about which cards to play and when. What sets Never Surrender apart is its unique take on World War II. Rather than a straightforward simulation, the game offers a more abstract and strategic look at the conflict. The combination of deck-building, area control, and variable player powers makes for a game that's both engaging and unpredictable. Whether you're a seasoned board game fan or just looking for a new challenge, Never Surrender is definitely worth checking out. With its simple yet strategic gameplay, it's an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore the world of World War II board games.
