Blitzkrieg! Combined Edition

I purchased this game to play solo. It is challenging and rewarding. Comes with an extra expansion. I see a Godzilla token!

This game can in fact be played within 20 minutes once you gave the rules down. Solo mode is easy enough to follow - coming from someone used to GMT's if-then-do-that flow chart system - and the bot puts up a reasonable challenge. I'm dinging the game one star, because while the components are good quality, I feel the full price for this game is absolutely undeserved.

I got Caesar! For Christmas, so I had to use my birthday discount to get Blitzkrieg! as well, and, while I don't enjoy it quite as much as I enjoy Caesar!, I am still glad I purchased it. Like its sister game, the decisions are always interesting, interactive, and meaningful. The game is definitely as short as advertised, which is great, because you'll be wanting to play it a few times, and so will the people you show it to.

Love 2 player head to head games and this fits the bill. Not alot of heft for for price but lot of gamery decisions and tense. Good solo mode.

I've only played the solo mode. It takes a little time to learn how to run the AI, but it works pretty well. As a fun, short wargame it's pretty decent. It is heavily abstracted and does a fairly decent job of boiling the scope of World War II into a 20 minute game of tug-of-war.

This game lives up to what it claims to be. Of course, you don't go through the minutiae of hits vs. misses, terrain effects, etc. However, this gives you the top brass perspective of wholistic war. 1 token placed down is a minor battle on 1 front, but you're trying to win the entire war as a net victory across all fronts. Sure, there's a bit of luck involved, with how you pull things out of the bag. Having said that, if any game is going to have a luck element that involves drawing from a pool of known resources, a war game is the best place for it. There's a reason the complicated war games have so many complex decisions to make, but battles still come down to rolling dice. All in all, I loved my first few games and am excited to play more.

Blitzkrieg! Is a 2p only tug of war game where you are competing in different campaigns on a race to get to 25 points. Each round you pull a chit from your bag and place one on the board, each chit has different values and different effects to help you win. Very tactical, quick and fun, only downside is the art style and graphic design.

Our whole family has played this game and everyone enjoys it. My wife and daughter were the latest to go head to head with the Axis taking the Pacific and the Allies taking Eastern Europe and Africa. It was a tight race to the finish with the Allies pulling off a victory. Each game we have played has been tight and the game is spot on for a 20-minute slugfest.

On a player's turn you place a tile from behind your screen into the top row of any available theater of war. You move control towards your side spaces equal to the strength of the unit and resolve the ability, if any, you covered with your piece. Play to 25 or till someone can't place a tile. That is 90% of the rules. Has a surprising amount of decisions with such a small rule set and still plays in under a half an hour. May not be for everyone, nothing is, but definably worth a try.

This is a fun, decent 2 player game. Setup is a breeze. Plays in under 30 minutes. The reason I don't rate this higher is I personally prefer meatier games such as Curious Cargo.
