Players will strive to become dominant in one or more building Zones in order to acquire beneficial political offices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of this eventually leads to the end game—a vibrant metropolis that is revered around the world—when the player with the most Prestige will be crowned the winner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Play\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grid of streets on the board provides the framework for building the small town. The buildings will be placed within the grid and identified with control markers (wooden cubes) to show each player's contribution to the growing urban area. Each building's value is determined by the cumulative Wealth and Prestige values of the block in which is it constructed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the start of a player's turn he may discard one or more Building Permit cards from hand as \"Investments,\" gaining Wealth in doing so. Next that player gets 6 \"Action Points\" (APs) with which to spend on any of the the following activities:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Acquiring new Building Permit cards from those available to choose;\u003cbr\u003e• Constructing new buildings from those currently available;\u003cbr\u003e• Acquiring a \"Favor\"—a Building Contract that only that player can build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach activity carries with it a variable cost in APs, depending on where the chosen card lies on the board.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce a player has spent his APs it's time for a quick reset phase in readiness for the next player's turn. It is during this phase that events can occur, elections can be held for the various political offices, and players receive payouts in Wealth and Prestige. Wealth payouts provide funding for new buildings while Prestige payouts provide victory points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally, players will be trying to build in areas that provide better payouts. Players are also looking to construct more buildings of a particular \"zone\"—Government, Residential, Industrial, or Commercial—in order to help them win an election, as the politicians each confer a special ability to the player holding the office. Many of the buildings also provide a one-time bonus as they are built, and players can benefit from construction in the right neighborhoods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the game, the values of the buildings will generally increase as the town grows into a city and then a large metropolis. Neighborhoods that were once valuable can become run down and new city centers spring up as the urban areas sprawl out across the grid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the game ends, players will conduct a final scoring of each Prestige row, earn points based on accumulated Wealth, and score bonus points for political offices held—after which the player with the highest Prestige total wins the game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":391676680,"sku":"1116","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Urban_Sprawl.jpg?v=1578608833"},{"product_id":"dominant-species","title":"Dominant Species","description":"\u003ctable padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/chad-jensen\"\u003e Chad Jensen \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/all\/gmt-games\"\u003e GMT Games \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4th Edition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120-240 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHonors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"link3265563\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamehonor\/20985\/2010-jogo-do-ano-nominee\"\u003e2010 Jogo do Ano Nominee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"link2442855\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamehonor\/13901\/2011-golden-geek-best-innovative-board-game-nomine\"\u003e2011 Golden Geek Best Innovative Board Game Nominee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"link2442895\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamehonor\/13904\/2011-golden-geek-best-strategy-board-game-nominee\"\u003e2011 Golden Geek Best Strategy Board Game Nominee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"link2553913\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamehonor\/14826\/2011-golden-geek-best-strategy-board-game-winner\"\u003e2011 Golden Geek Best Strategy Board Game Winner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"innerlinks_53589c35052ba\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"link2442911\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamehonor\/13905\/2011-golden-geek-best-thematic-board-game-nominee\"\u003e2011 Golden Geek Best Thematic Board Game Nominee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"link2553848\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamehonor\/14818\/2011-golden-geek-board-game-of-the-year-winner\"\u003e2011 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year Winner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"link2377408\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamehonor\/12828\/2011-international-gamers-awards-general-strateg\"\u003e2011 International Gamers Awards - General Strategy;

There is no sequence of play to follow, however: each Time segment is divided into a variable number of Player Turns, each of which may consist of one or more Fate Card \"Orders\" conducted by the active player. Fate Card \"Actions\" may generally be conducted by either player at any time. \"Events\" — both good and bad — will occur at random intervals to add a bit of chaos and uncertainty to each player’s perfect plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSCALE\u003c\/em\u003e: Each hex of a Combat Commander map is roughly 100 feet of distance (about 30 meters).

The early and successful conclusion to the Battle of Britain allows the Luftwaffe to dominate the skies over southern England and the Channel Ports of Southampton and Portsmouth. The actions represented in the battle pack cover the period of late September thru December 1940 and showcase the initial invasion, the Axis advance towards London, its eventual capture, the early entry of the United States into the war, and finally the British counter offensive, Operation Tremor, to drive the hated enemy from its shores.

Their hope was to destroy the southern wing of the German army while it was still reeling from its defeat at Stalingrad. There were large gaps in the German lines and a quick advance here could turn the tide of the war. Time after time the Panzergrenadier Division Grossdeutschland was called upon to reinforce, fill and stabilize weak points, and to close the gaps before the onslaught of Soviet troops could pour through. Oftentimes they were outnumbered and arrived just in the nick of time. As the front stabilized they were called upon again to spearhead the German drives against the Soviet 40th and 69th Armies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Soviets made several coordinated attacks during these months, one including Operation Star (February 2-19). During this offensive the Soviets took Belgorod and Kharkov. On the German side Manstein initiated his \"Backhand Blow\" on February 20. These battles went on through March 5 and beyond. Kharkov was taken back by the Germans in March during this push. Further German advances set up the upcoming summer’s battle for Kursk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe areas around and cities of Belgorod and Kharkov were key points in many of the battles above. Both cities were major transportation hubs and control of the roads between them was critical to both the Soviets and the Germans. Advancing, reinforcements and supply was dependent upon whoever controlled these cities. By the end of February the Soviets were pushing the limits of their endurance and were very near the end of their supply lines. The Germans needed these same cities to stop the enemy advance, form a semblance of a solid line, and prepare for the inevitable counterattacks. Fierce battles raged on and on with many villages and hills along the path changing hands multiple times. Each side's positions for the summer of 1943 campaigns were now at stake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this expansion for Fighting Formations we feature the Grossdeutschland Division as it fought in 1943 and early 1944 around the Ukrainian city of Kharkov. In each scenario, one player will take command of elements of this elite German formation while the other assumes control of the opposing forces of the Soviet Union.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFighting Formations: Grossdeutschland Division's Battle for Kharkov expands upon the original Fighting Formations game by taking the Grossdeutschland Division into 1943 and the winter of 1944. This expansion features ten new scenarios, many using new units for the German and Soviet sides, played on ten new maps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new Battle for Kharkov playbook includes the following:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 10 new scenarios, including many smaller and shorter engagements\u003cbr\u003e• Updated order of battle for GD, encompassing units and hardware added in 1943\u003cbr\u003e• Historical notes covering GD’s fighting in the Ukraine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the new playbook, the game includes 3 large and 2 small back-printed game maps (10 maps total), and a half-sized counter sheet containing new pieces for both the German and Soviet arsenals.

This northern flank was to be held by 9th Panzer. However, nothing could be seen over the high rail line that divided their two sections of the front. Were they still there and holding the line? Major Frantz decided to investigate the situation for himself and crossed the rail line with another assault gun. As he watched German troops and guns stream by in retreat he found himself in the midst of a tall cornfield with Russian T-34s streaming by at a range of 20 yards. They were faster than he was, and were by him in an instant….\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Duel—General Koniev's 2nd Ukrainian Front launched a major offensive in December of 1943, with the aim to break through the German lines in the Kirovograd area. Multiple attacks were launched and Soviet troops were pouring through. The Panzergrenadier Grossdeutschland Division was brought up to close the gaps and help create a continuous defensive line. There was a critically vulnerable point along the road to the east of the village of Anniska. Here II Battalion, Panzergrenadier Regiment GD was struggling to hold its position. They were reinforced by the anti-aircraft troops of GD's Army FlaK Battalion just in the nick of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Welcome to Kharkov—21 January 1943: Reports from the Soviet Voronezh Front were that they had broken through the Hungarian army's positions and were advancing into the Novy Oskol area northwest of Kharkov. The Oskol river was being breached and preparations were in progress for further attacks towards Belgorod and Kharkov. General Kazakov's 69th Army was to attack southeast taking Volchansk and then on into Kharkov. Before the city, however, lay Volokonovka, which would provide an opportunity to hit the German's defensive line and test their resolve. Were the German forces finally weakening?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Charge—9 March 1943: The 3rd Squadron of “Battle Group Strachwitz,” after taking fire from nearby Alexandrovka, was assigned the job of taking out the Soviet forces there. Rather than wait, they immediately charged down the slopes into the heavy defensive fire coming directly at them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Can We Hold?—March 17 started out quietly, but it was not to stay that way. The II Battalion of the Grenadier Regiment was sent into Borisovka to free up other GD units for attacking elsewhere. The relieved units left mid-morning. In the late afternoon about a dozen Soviet tanks and infantry charged in from the northeast, broke through the outer line, and drove directly into the village.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Overrun—18 February 1943: Kharkov had just fallen to the Soviets and a realignment of the German defensive line was formed to its south. The Grossdeutschland Division's Fusilier Regiment was given the assignment of defending a section of road leading to the west out of Kharkov towards Ljubotin. Rybalko's Soviet 3rd Tank Army was trying to break through this new line southwest of the city. One of his attacks took place on the outskirts of the town of Korotich near a collective farm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Just in Time—The Soviet Voronezh Front had three armies poised to attack towards Kharkov in early February ‘43 as part of Operation Star. Their forces had taken the city of Belgorod as this progressed and they were continuing to push southward to achieve their goal. Delaying actions to slow the advance was all the Germans were capable of at this point in time. The Soviet 40th Army was now northeast of Kharkov and was trying to find a seam between SS Reich units and the Grossdeutschland Division defending outside of Veseloye. They were looking for easy openings in the German line that could be taken advantage of and thus move down the Belgorod-Kharkov highway and into Kharkov itself. Grossdeutschland's reinforced Fusilier Regiment was in the direct line of this advance....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• A Change of Orders—The Soviets 2nd Ukrainian Front launched a major offensive in late December of 1943 in southern Russia. The attacks began in earnest on 5 January 1944 with the goal of breaking through the German lines in the Kirovograd area. These caused multiple gaps in the German lines. On the evening of January 7 Grossdeutschland units were close at hand and were called upon to help remedy the tenuous situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Tigers—In early March ‘43 the momentum in the area around the city of Kharkov was turning towards the Germans. Manstein's counterattack was pushing the Soviets back and gaining ground on all sides. Gaps were developing between the Soviet 40th and 69th Armies. On March 4 Grossdeutschland Division received its first Tiger tank company. Three days later GD jumped off, attacking towards Bogodukhov to the northwest of Kharkov.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7489545830451,"sku":"7489545830451","price":42.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Capture.PNG?v=1578609391"},{"product_id":"combat-commander-battle-pack-1-paratroopers","title":"Combat Commander: Battle Pack #1 – Paratroopers","description":"\u003ctable padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/chad-jensen\"\u003eChad Jensen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/all\/gmt-games\"\u003eGMT Games\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpansion For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/combat-commander-europe\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ng-binding\"\u003eCombat Commander: Europe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHonors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca ng-href=\"\/boardgamehonor\/21223\/2009-charles-s-roberts-best-expansion-or-supplemen\" class=\"ng-binding\" href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamehonor\/21223\/2009-charles-s-roberts-best-expansion-or-supplemen\"\u003e2009 Charles S.

Future Battle Packs will be similarly structured and may also include new counters or new cards – with themes such as “Stalingrad”, “Partisans” and “Desert Rats” to name just a few.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOMPONENTS:\u003cbr\u003e2 17\" x 22\" 2-sided color mapsheets\u003cbr\u003e6 2-sided Scenario Cards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scenarios included in CC–Paratroopers are:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Fields of Fire” and “Fields of Blood” set at Lanzerath, Germany, 16 December 1944 – both the morning and the afternoon attacks (using a new map #25);\u003cbr\u003e “Turnbull Turns ‘em” at Neuville-au-Plain, France, 6 June 1944 (using a new map #26);\u003cbr\u003e “Carentan Causeway” at Carentan, France, 10 June 1944 (using a new map #27);\u003cbr\u003e “No Ingouf Around” at Carentan, France, 11 June 1944 (using a new map #28);\u003cbr\u003e “Operation Repulse” at Bastogne, Belgium, 27 December 1944;\u003cbr\u003e “Red Skies at Night” at Veliki Bukrin Bridgehead, Russia, 25 September 1943;\u003cbr\u003e “Blizzard Baptism” at Flamierge, Belgium, 4 January 1945;\u003cbr\u003e “Look Mom, No Tanks!” near Trois Ponts, Belgium, 24 December 1944;\u003cbr\u003e “We Go!” at St. Mere Eglise, France, 6 June 1944;\u003cbr\u003e “Encircled at Hill 30” at Caponnet, France, 8 June 1944.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOTE: CC–Paratroopers is not a complete game and requires ownership of Combat Commander: Europe to play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScenario designs in this first Pack are courtesy of Will Green, John Holme, Gregory L.

With massive warming altering the globe, another titanic struggle for supremacy has unwittingly commenced between the varying animal species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDominant Species: Marine is a game that abstractly recreates a small portion of ancient history: the ending of an onerous ice age and what that entails for the living creatures trying to adapt to the slowly-changing earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach player will assume the role of one of four major aquatic-based animal classes — dinosaur, fish, cephalopod or crustacean. Each begins the game more or less in a state of natural balance in relation to one another. But that won’t last: It is indeed “survival of the fittest.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough wily action pawn placement, you will attempt to thrive in as many different habitats as possible in order to claim powerful card effects. You will also want to propagate your individual species in order to earn victory points for your animal. You will be aided in these endeavors via speciation, migration and adaptation actions, among others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of this eventually leads to the end game – the final ascent of a vast tropical ocean and its shorelines – where the player having accumulated the most victory points will have their animal crowned the Dominant Species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut somebody better become dominant quickly, because there’s a large asteroid heading this way....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGame Play\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe large hexagonal tiles are used throughout the game to create an ever-expanding interpretation of the main ocean on earth as it might have appeared tens of millions of years ago. The smaller Hydrothermal Vent tiles will be placed atop some of the larger tiles throughout play, converting them into Vents in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe action pawns drive the game. Each pawn allows a player to perform the various actions that can be taken—such as speciation, environmental change, migration or evolution. When placed on the action display, a pawn will immediately trigger that particular action for its owning player. Dominant Species: Marine includes new “special” pawns that can be acquired during the course of play. These special pawns have enhanced placement capabilities over the “basic” pawns that each player begins the game with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally, players will be trying to enhance their own animal’s survivability while simultaneously trying to hinder that of their opponents’—hopefully collecting valuable victory points along the way. The various cards will aid in these efforts, giving players useful one-time abilities, ongoing benefits, or an opportunity for recurring VP gains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the game species cubes will be added to, moved about on, and removed from the tiles in play (“earth”). Element disks will be added to and removed from both animals and earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the game ends, players will conduct a final scoring of each tile and score their controlled special pawns—after which the player controlling the animal with the highest VP total wins the game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDominant Species Veterans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor players of the original Dominant Species, this iteration introduces several key evolutions to the system (pun definitely intended): \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActions are taken immediately whenever a pawn is placed instead of waiting to execute actions after all pawns are on the board. This gives players a bit more flexibility in their strategy, doesn’t increase game time when more pawns are acquired by players, and lessens the brain-burn quite a bit since it alleviates the burden of having to plan out an entire turn in advance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomination is no longer on a per-tile basis, and is no longer ‘competitive’ with other players. In this game you check dominance for each element type over the entire earth, and whether or not you dominate an element type is independent of whether one or more opponents also dominate it. Domination of an element is how you acquire – and try to maintain – control of the special pawns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnimals no longer have default special abilities. Now, players are dealt 3 Trait cards during setup, choosing one to keep and putting the others back in the box. The chosen Trait gives their animal one of eighteen unique abilities spread amongst the Trait cards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcquiring special pawns through domination gives a player great flexibility in planning and executing a strategy. Special pawns can ‘bump’ an opponent’s basic pawn in order to take an action that would otherwise be blocked. They can be placed anywhere on the action display (where basic pawns must be placed in top-to-bottom order only). There are powerful action spaces where only a special pawn can be placed. And at the end of the game, each special pawn awards its owner VPs according to its highest achieved dominance value.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—description from the publisher\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31602297471027,"sku":"2009-22","price":79.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic5537734.jpg?v=1599598445"},{"product_id":"downfall-conquest-of-the-third-reich-1942-1946","title":"Downfall: Conquest of the Third Reich, 1942-1945","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/john-h-butterfield\"\u003eJohn H.

One player controls the Western Allies and the other the Soviet Union in their joint effort to destroy the Axis. Though the two players share the goal of defeating the Reich, each seeks a victory that favors their dominance in post-war Europe. To this end, each player controls two factions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Western player commands the Western Allies faction and the OKH faction, that is the German and minor Axis armies battling the Soviet Union in the east (Oberkommando des Heeres).\u003cbr\u003e The Soviet player commands the Soviet faction and the OKW faction, that is the German and Italian armies facing the Western allies in the west (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGameplay is driven by Downfall’s innovative initiative track. The faction with the initiative chooses an order, pays its initiative cost by advancing their marker along the track, and performs the order. Then, the faction with the initiative (based on the updated positions of the markers) chooses the next order. There is no set sequence of play; initiative expenditures determine who goes next. The progress of faction markers along the track also trigger strategic events, changes in weather, and advancement of game turns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—description from the publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41405068148787,"sku":"2311","price":58.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic7472098_cd8af48d-e244-4b4d-9c4a-7833d5cf67a1.jpg?v=1696462864"},{"product_id":"downfall-conquest-of-the-third-reich-1942-1945-mounted-maps","title":"Downfall: Conquest of the Third Reich, 1942-1945 (Mounted Maps)","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased on customer requests for (two) mounted maps for Downfall and also a deeper box to go with the mounted map, we're offering this combo pack for Downfall. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnjoy!\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41405068673075,"sku":"2311BX","price":40.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/files\/969.jpg?v=1696462990"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/chad-jensen.oembed","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
