Black Orchestra

2016 · World War II

Black Orchestra

Players portray historical figures plotting to assassinate Hitler as his power tightens in wartime Germany. On a turn, each player takes up to three actions — moving across the board, searching for items, drawing cards, or using the risky “Conspire” dice action to gain extra actions at the cost of raising Gestapo suspicion. Event cards advance through seven stages of the war, opening new areas, spawning threats, and shifting opportunities. Conspirators collect plot cards and must meet requirements (location, equipment, allies) before attempting an assassination by resolving dice against detection symbols. If all players are arrested or secret papers are found, the group loses.

    Coop game very thematic. Cool componentes and very documented, makes you feel like you're really conspiring to kill Hitler. It depends more on luck than on strategy and could have low replayability.
