Description
The Near East is a classic wargame that drops you into the midst of World War II, where you'll navigate the challenges of the desert theater with a friend. This 2-player expansion is all about strategy and simulation, with a hexagon grid and dice rolling adding an extra layer of excitement to the gameplay. Be prepared to invest some time in learning the rules, as they can be a bit complicated, but it's worth it for the immersive experience that awaits. With a playtime of around 60 minutes, you'll be fully engaged in the action, using your wits to outmaneuver your opponent. First released in 1983, The Near East has stood the test of time, and as an expansion for games like Western Desert and Master Europa 104: Southern Front, it's a great way to mix things up and try a new scenario.
