Quartermaster General: 1914

The premise of the Quartermaster General series is that supply is the most important thing in warfare (I believe Napoleon had something to say about this). The other common element is that players must manage their deck of cards: play them too quickly and you're in trouble; play them too slowly and you're in trouble; throw too many away and you're in trouble.

As the name tells you, this one is about the First World War. The two sides are the Entente (Britain, France and Russia) versus the Central Powers (Germany and Austro-Hungary) and the game is played out over a map of Europe and the Near East.

The first issue, of course, is the co-ordination between the team members. Then players have some tricky decisions as they try to avoid the continuing stalemate that happened historically. It's a clever game and nicely atmospheric with it. I now have the third edition (in a square box), from Ares Games.

For 2-5 players, aged 12+, playing time 90-120 minutes: £45.00 Special offer: £32.00 (£26.67 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
