Description

Bloody Ridge is a classic wargame that drops you into the intense World War II battle for Guadalcanal, where two players take on the roles of the US Marines and the Japanese army. With a straightforward ruleset that's easy to pick up, you'll be rolling dice and maneuvering your troops across a hexagon grid in no time. This 90-minute game is all about simulation, so you'll need to think strategically and make tactical decisions to outmaneuver your opponent. First released in 1975, Bloody Ridge has stood the test of time, offering a gripping and immersive experience that's as much about planning as it is about a little luck. As you navigate the challenges of this pivotal battle, you'll feel like you're right there on the island, fighting for control of the airfield and the fate of the Pacific.
