Description

Get ready to dive into a thrilling naval battle with Bismarck, a classic board game from 1962. Designed by Thomas N. Shaw and Charles S. Roberts, this game pits two players against each other in a World War II scenario, where one player takes on the role of the British and the other plays as the Germans. The goal is simple: hunt down and sink the Bismarck, but it's not as easy as it sounds. With hidden movement and secret unit deployment, the German player has a few tricks up their sleeve to evade capture. As a straightforward move-and-search game, Bismarck is easy to learn, even for those familiar with board games. The game is played for points, and the player with the most points at the end wins. With a playtime of 120 minutes, you'll be fully immersed in the action, using dice rolling and grid movement to outmaneuver your opponent. Will you emerge victorious, or will the Bismarck slip away? There's only one way to find out.
