Description

Race to Berlin drops you into the final months of World War II in Europe, where the stakes are high and the battle for victory is intense. As one of two players, you'll take on the role of a commander, either leading the Soviet or Allied armies in a race to capture the ultimate prize: Berlin, the capital of Nazi Germany. But that's not all - you'll also be commanding German troops, tasked with slowing down your opponent's advance while pushing forward with your own. As you navigate the complexities of war, you'll need to seize strategically important regions of Germany, which will later be administered by occupying troops. The outcome of this race will have far-reaching consequences, shaping the post-war spheres of influence and the balance of power during the Cold War. With a playtime of 150 minutes, Race to Berlin is a game of normal complexity, making it accessible to board game enthusiasts. Designed by Krzysztof Dytczak and published in 2015, this game combines action points, area movement, and dice rolling to create a thrilling simulation of one of history's most pivotal moments. Will you emerge victorious, or will your opponent claim the spoils of war? There's only one way to find out.
