## Description

Product Description June, 1944. Through the D-Day landings, the Allies have seized a foothold on the beaches of Normandy. Now you must lead your troops forward as you push deeper into France and drive the German forces back. You will face intense resistance, machine gun fire, and mortar bombardment, but a great commander can turn the situation to their advantage. Undaunted: Normandy is a two-player deck-building war game that pits players against one another in the European theater of World War II. Every casualty you take removes a card from your deck, so you must adapt as the fight unfolds. The game follows the designer's grandfathers' experiences as part of the US 30th Infantry Division during Operation Overlord and Operation Cobra, and was published to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the legendary Allied offensive. An exciting new approach to the deck-building genre and an accessible entry point to board wargaming. For 2 players, ages 14 and up, 45 to 60 minutes. Review “Sharp as a box of bayonets” ―Quintin Smith, Shut Up & Sit Down“One of the most unique games I've played in a long time. ” ―Tom Vasel, The Dice Tower“Undaunted is a brilliantly accomplished design, offering an engrossing WWII wargame in the guise of an approachable deckbuilder. From its immersive campaign to its tight and tense squad-level gameplay, it's a flying success” ―Matt Jarvis, Tabletop Gaming Magazine“The abstraction of infantry combat with deckbuilding is a stroke of genius, leaving a tactically and strategically rich game” ―Matt Thrower, There Will Be Games“Undaunted: Normandy is by far the best wargame I've played in a long time... This is not just the kind of game that I love, it is the kind of game that the hobby needs!” ―Marco Omnigamer“I really think it's a fun, great system. There's a certain elegance to the gameplay, which is a term that is thrown around a lot but you know darn it this really works here” ―Joel Eddy, Drive Thru Games“For me, this is going to be one of my top games of 2019” ―Rolling Dice & Taking Names“This is the perfect marriage of mechanics and theme and fun. This is a fantastic game, I cannot recommend it enough.” ―Cody Carlson, The Discriminating Gamer

Review: A great war boardgame. Simple to learn, rewarding to master. - While Undaunted might not look as impressive as other war boardgames with their armies of plastic models, this rather unassuming card and cardboard game fits very competent and complex game in its small box. Everything revolves around cards, as the 4 you draw each round dictate the actions you can perform that round and the units that can perform them. Getting shot removes cards from your deck and reduces the chances of that unit acting. Buying more cards for your deck may make a unit stronger, but also bloats your deck. Undaunted is a beautiful balancing act, that plays out over more than a dozen missions between two players. I recommend this as your starting point, but know that there are expansions awaiting.
Review: Excellent two player strategy that plays in 30-60 minutes! - A super clean and deceptively strategic war-game, Undaunted: Normandy is a top-notch two player game. Pitting Germans vs Americans in a dozen different WW2 scenarios with varying goals, you can easily play through as one side, then switch and play through all 12 scenarios again with quite a different experience. The game can be learned in about 10 minutes. You’ll setup map tiles according to the scenario book, then give each side their starting area and units. This won’t be the same for each side which is where the variety comes in. However all the units function the same on each side which makes it easy to tell the state of the board at a glance, or what everyone’s soldiers or snipers do. Area control is usually the name of the game in most scenarios, but some have fun objectives such as the germans having to kill all the american rifleman to win, while the americans have to capture a control point at the far side of an open field. I found the game to be tense and balanced so far in every scenario. We’ve taken turns winning across various maps and each one came down to a final turn or action before the other could or would have won. While there is dice rolling involved for attacking, all other actions simply take place without dice or interference. This is probably my only knock on the game, as being a victim of bad rolls can simply lose you the game, such as failing to kill a soldier 5 times in a row. However this is simultaneously thematic, as war is hectic. Thematically the game feels amazing and just plays really smoothly and organically. Everything makes sense and my buddy and I love the flow of deck, hand, discard and supply. He said “Playing this round was both depressing and exciting, just like war itself.” I’ve been playing much bigger or longer games that take 2-4 hours per session, but wanted something more accessible. We are usually done Normandy in an hour including setup and teardown for one scenario. Love it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a stand alone game?  Or is it an add on to a larger game that you would first need to purchase?**
A: This is a stand-alone game.  You don't need to purchase anything else to supplement it unless you want to protect your cards with sleeves.

**Q: Seems to be fairly language independent?**
A: Yes, it's language independent once you got the general rules from the rules book. The card have one word for each action it allows, so a small cheat table shall suffice as clarification. I'm quite sure you will find on in the language you need at BGG.
