The Hunted: Twilight of the U-Boats, 1943-45 (2020)

About this game

The Hunted is a tactical level game placing you in command of one of several models of WWII U-boats. Your mission is to destroy as much Allied Shipping and as many Capital ships as possible.....and still come home. Players will find it EXTREMELY challenging to survive an entire tour from 1943 to 1945, at which time, if still alive, you will surrender at port, having done your part on the front lines. If desired, a player may start with a more advanced model of U-boat which may actually increase their chances to survive. Players MAY be reassigned to a newer model of U-boat under some circumstances, but typically will stay in the same boat until the end of game or until sunk.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
