Description
Pacific Tide is a strategic-level board wargame that drops you into the midst of World War II, where the United States and Japan are locked in a fierce struggle. Designed by Gregory M. Smith, this game is easy to learn but offers a wealth of depth and complexity, making it perfect for fans of aviation, nautical, and wargames. With a unique card-driven combat and build system, you'll be making tough decisions every turn, whether you're committing carrier forces, land-based air, or intelligence assets. As you play, you'll feel the tension build as you race against the clock to achieve your objectives. The Japanese player must contend with degrading pilot quality and a loss of strategic initiative, while the US player must push forward to defeat Japan before 1945. With a playtime of 120 to 240 minutes, Pacific Tide is an immersive experience that can be enjoyed solo or with a friend, thanks to its innovative bot system that adds a new layer of challenge and replayability.
