Description
Kandahar is a game that drops you right into the midst of modern warfare, where 2 to 3 players take on the roles of coalition forces, the government, and the insurgents in a battle for control of the region. Designed by Brian Train and published in 2013, this wargame is all about navigating complex rules to emerge victorious, which can be a challenge to learn but totally worth it. As you play, you'll be using area majority and influence mechanics to spread your presence and sway the population to your side, all while trying to outmaneuver your opponents in a simulation of the real-life conflict. With its unique blend of strategy and simulation, Kandahar is a gripping game that will keep you on the edge of your seat, even if it does take a little time to wrap your head around the rules.
