Description

What Price Glory is a gripping World War I board game that drops you into the trenches of the Western Front. Designed by Tetsuya Nakamura and Adam Starkweather, this game is easy to learn, but challenging to master. As a two-player game, you'll be pitted against your opponent in a battle of wits, with each of you controlling corps-sized units. The game is divided into ten turns, each representing half a year, and you'll take turns activating your units to move or fight using a unique card-driven system. The card play is where What Price Glory really shines, allowing you to plan and anticipate your opponent's moves, and then react with a combination of simple actions and more complex card combinations. As the game progresses, Event cards are added to the mix, introducing high-level options like submarine warfare or the entry of the United States into the war. With a playtime of around 240 minutes, this game is a significant investment, but experienced players can finish in under three hours. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a new challenge, What Price Glory offers a thrilling and immersive experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
