Stahl und Eisen

This game's box cover and spectacularly illustrated board provide a thorough tour of WWI Germany's military-industrial complex, from a coal mine and iron and steel making through the production of massive artillery pieces and warships. In play, it is a basic spin-and-move game, but the artwork by Johann B. Maier made for effective wartime propaganda at the time and remains today a vivid historical picture of the role of heavy industry during the Great War.
