Bismarck: The Last Battle

While extremely competitive as a solitaire game, Bismarck : The Last Battle is quite addictive for the player, as every repeatable battle is a struggle to survival. The card-based battle system is a different take on the “normal” event/operations points-driven systems. Separate card decks are created for each game turn, in a total of 5 decks, including enemy units (carriers, planes, destroyers etc.) and events in a 100% historical approach.

Units comprise five different types:

• Carriers
• Battleships
• Battlecruisers
• Destroyers
• Airplane Bombers

Special rules are provided for Repairs, Fire, Damage Effects, Hull Meter, Weather Condition Track, Deck & Flak Gun Attacks, etc.

The main target of the player is to sink enemy warships, shot down enemy bombers and try to survive after the last 5th turn, to win the game.

Good Hunting, Captain…
