Description

Islands of the Damned: Wake Island and Peleliu is a thrilling solo board game that drops you into the midst of two pivotal battles in World War II's Pacific theater. As the commander of American forces, you'll be tasked with doing better than the historical outcomes, minimizing casualties while achieving your objectives. The game is easy to learn, but don't let that fool you - it's a challenging and immersive experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat for its 180-minute playtime. With innovative systems designed by Steven Cunliffe and Lembit Tohver, you'll need to balance boldness with good tactics to succeed. From the defense of Wake Island, dubbed "the Alamo of the Pacific," to the grueling invasion of Peleliu, a battle that proved to be one of the bloodiest in the Pacific war, Islands of the Damned offers a unique and gripping experience. With over 175 large, full-color counters and two separate 17" x 22" mapsheets, the game is a visual treat as well. First published in 2015, this game has been reprinted in limited quantities, making it a rare gem for fans of wargames and World War II history. Can you rise to the challenge and save your troops from the Islands of the Damned?
