Description
Midway is a classic World War II naval wargame for two players, designed by S. Craig Taylor and published in 1991. The game is set around the Midway Island and features a unique gameplay mechanic where each player has their own map of the area behind a screen, adding a layer of secrecy and strategy to the game. Players use search planes to locate the enemy fleet, and once found, they can send in bombers to attack. The game is easy to learn, but it has depth and complexity with additional rules that add realism, such as CAP fighters, surface actions, and inaccurate search reports. With a playtime of 90 to 240 minutes, Midway offers an immersive and engaging experience, especially with a neutral referee for true double-blind play. The game includes 204 counters, making it a comprehensive and challenging experience for fans of nautical and World War II-themed games.
