MacGowan & Lombardy's "The Great War" by award-winning game designer Dana Lombardy is a simple, fast-playing stand-alone (non-collectible) 2-player & SOLO Card-Wargame built around important weapon systems, commanders, and other historical aspects of this unprecedented industrial-scale war. One player represents Germany. The other player represents the Entente Allies of Great Britain and France. Two 54-card decks feature colorized historical images and illustrations by game industry Hall of Fame graphic artist Rodger B. MacGowan. Icons, insignias, and game text on each card eliminate the need for complex rules. Nearly all of Rodger's exceptional WW1 illustrations appear on the cards. —description from the publisher
