Description

Lightning: D-Day is a thrilling two-player card game that drops you into the chaos of the Allied invasion of occupied France on June 6, 1944. With each player taking on the role of either the Allies or the Germans, the game simulates the intense battles that took place on the historic landing beaches of Gold, Juno, Sword, Omaha, and Utah. The easy-to-learn rules make it simple to dive into the action, which unfolds over a quick 30-minute playtime. As the game progresses, tension builds with each card played, requiring both players to think strategically and plan ahead. The Allies must marshal their resources to gain control of every beach, while the Germans must use their defenses to hold back the invasion. With its simulation game mechanics and World War II theme, Lightning: D-Day is a gripping wargame that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
