Game Info
An old war game made during or after World War II. The game is a simple dice game where up to four players moving a playing piece towards an enemy city. Each player is allowed ten raids to the objectives of their choice, with the highest score tabulated at the end of the game declared a winner. If a playing piece lands on a black square during a raid, the piece is removed from the board and that turn is lost. The high ratio of black squares (40 out of a possible 179 spaces) is a depressingly accurate reflection of the high casualties facing wartime bomber crews. The original wartime edition was printed in brown on thin beige cardstock, while the post-war version had a glossier red board with black squares. Both versions fold out to a size 16" x 11". The coloured playing pieces are made from 1/4" painted wooden dowel and the die is wooden as well. Game instructions are printed on the face of the board.
