Secret Weapons of the Third Reich

A solo or cooperative game for one to four players simulates Germany’s secret-weapons program from 1938 through World War II. Players manage research groups, assign scientists, secure resources, and develop projects ranging from V-1 and V-2 weapons to atomic devices, flying saucers, and orbital weapons. Approved projects generate funding, while completed projects provide victory points and enable weapon production. Research and production sites spread across occupied Europe as the war progresses, but bombardment, advancing Allied and Soviet forces, and changing logistics restrict available locations. Players must balance individual scores with a shared production target, while events may secretly turn one player into a traitor working to secure the group’s defeat.
