Description

Die Atombombe: The Reich's Bid to Build the Bomb is a card game that drops you into the midst of World War II, where you'll take on the role of a faction within the German government, industry, or military, all vying to develop a nuclear program. With 2 to 5 players, the game is easy to learn, but don't let that fool you - the stakes are high and the competition is fierce. As you navigate the complex web of research institutes, scarce resources, and rival spies, you'll need to stay focused if you hope to be the first to develop atomic weapons. As the war rages on, the game heats up, with official support and resources becoming increasingly scarce. You'll need to balance your efforts between recruiting top scientists, acquiring vital resources, and keeping your rivals at bay. But beware - even your finest scientists can be drafted to serve on the front lines, leaving your program in jeopardy. With playtime ranging from 30 to 120 minutes, Die Atombombe is a game that's both fast-paced and strategic, offering a unique glimpse into the challenges of developing a nuclear program under the intense pressure of war. Designed by Steven Cunliffe and published in 2019, this game is a must-play for fans of World War II history, espionage, and strategic card games.
