Description

Year of the Rat: Vietnam, 1972 – Deluxe Edition drops you into the heat of ’72 with a sleek hex‑grid map, a handful of dice, and a handful of friends (2‑4 works best). Even though the subject matter is serious modern warfare, the rules are so tight you can have a quick run‑through before the snacks arrive, then settle in for a 90‑to‑240‑minute showdown that feels like a real tactical puzzle. Designed by veteran wargame legends John Prados, Jim Dunnigan and Redmond A. Simonsen, the game captures the tension of the Vietnam War without drowning you in jargon—just roll, move, and decide whether to push forward or fall back. The deluxe edition adds crisp artwork, extra counters, and a sturdy board that makes every maneuver look epic. If you love dice‑driven combat, hex‑grid strategy, and a chance to rewrite a slice of history with your crew, this one’s a blast.
