About this game

The Great War in Europe (TGWiE) is a two player or two-team game simulating the campaigns of the main European theaters of the First World War, from August 1914 to the armistice. Players represent the political and military high commands of the Central Powers and the Allies, conducting operations on the western front, the eastern front, Italy and the Balkans.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 3.6/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
