Description

In Given Up for Dead, you're thrown into the midst of World War II, taking on the role of the American player defending Wake Island against an overwhelming Japanese force. This solitaire game, designed by Steven Cunliffe and published in 2015, is a thrilling challenge that will keep you on the edge of your seat for 30 to 60 minutes. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll quickly find yourself immersed in the action, using area movement mechanics to outmaneuver your enemy. As you play, you'll earn Victory Points by revealing Invasion Attempt Counters and taking enemy ships out of action. While defeating the invasion force in full may be unlikely, your goal is to make the invasion of Wake Island a costly and tragic victory for the Japanese, potentially changing the outcome of the Pacific War. With its historical context and intense gameplay, Given Up for Dead is a must-play for fans of wargames and World War II history. Can you hold out against the odds and make a difference in the war, or will you succumb to the overwhelming force arrayed against you? The fate of Wake Island is in your hands.
