Overview
On December 16, 1944, in the dead of winter, the German army lashed out at the United States army in an all-out counteroffensive into the rough Ardennes section of Belgium. This is known to history as the Battle of the Bulge. This card game provides a recreation of elements of that chaotic battle as each player simultaneously commands both US and German military forces in attempts to hold and seize major objectives. Each objective has unique capabilities that allow the player holding them to ‘bend’ the rules.
