Description
Sniper Elite: The Board Game is a hidden movement game based on the iconic video game series.
In the game, one player takes the role of the sniper, who is trying to make their way past the German guards by stealth or violence. Up to three other players control squads of German soldiers, striking a balance between defending their objectives and hunting the sniper.
Sniper Elite features a bag-manipulation element. The sniper draws chits from a bag to target the defenders, though canny defense can decrease the sniper's likelihood of making their shot...

Quotes (from this video)
- this is undaunted normally if you have not played this game this is a world war two themed game it is a deck builder and and what's really cool about this it's a deck building game but it has a war game theme because you're moving tokens around the board and everything like that
- the Germans goal in this scenario is different they're trying to actually pin my rifleman and so let me fix my scout there so you have to pin both of my rifleman counters meaning you have to get both riflemen counters off the board and how did all the board yep
- the big help you have in this scenario is this is our introduction to the machine gunner
- with attacking you're attacking a token removing a card suppression you don't actually remove a card so it's not hitting the guy you're just pinning him down so you flip this counter over to show that he suppressed and once a guy is suppressed I have to take an action with the guys to play a card to flip them back over
- this came first this is it had a I think I first pitched the Osprey in 2014 so we it was designed it was actually signed by different publisher who didn't publish it for a couple of years so it was on contract and didn't come out and so during that time the co designer Trevor Benjamin and I were like hey what if we took undaunted and distilled it down to its you know absolute your chorused form and made sort of an abstract game out of it and that's what that's what turned into war chest
- the production is just top-notch on war chest the poker chip right everything and even the insert in the box is so well done because you got those plastic trays they'll hold all your poker chips and everything is it's an amazing box set in itself aside from the game which is really good
- North Africa will be here in July
- Mac says is North Africa standalone and it is you do not need Normandy to play it that's right yep
- then you know Sniper Elite which was it originally had had been scheduled to be on Kickstarter a couple of months ago like many things has been delayed so that'll be probably on Kickstarter this summer at some point so that's the the board game based on the video game Sniper Elite and it's a it's a hidden movement game so one player takes the role of the sniper and everybody else is the defenders
- The problem with that game is it came out right as distributors for not shipping games so there's not any copies in distribution yet in America geesh
- The post Cold War you know period like I you I told you I work for the Department of Defense so I'm what we call a cold war warrior right that's the what I grew up in so that's that's something that is really interesting to me so hopefully people dig it

- It's literally just the equivalent of an Uno card game of push your luck.
- I found Slay the Spire to be boring as a computer game.
- The rinse repeat nature of a rogike game is just not fun to me because you just rinse and repeat the same thing.

- Let's Go to Japan is mostly about the scoring phase.
- SETI search for extraterrestrial intelligence one win it wins it over
- But, Seti, yeah, I'm I'm happy with this one.

- if you took Sudoku and made it a board game with a little bit of adventure in it.
- This is an intensely clever game.
- It's super clever.
- Small game, quick filler, It's right up there with Mouse, Cheesecat, Cucumber for me.
- This is a bidding game where each of your different skyscrapers on this flying island has a different number on the bottom
- And the thing with this game is it's easy to teach. It's quick to play. And it is beautiful. Just beautiful.
- But it is exceptional.
- this is a crisis management game that has a little bit of RPG leveling up, a whole bunch of worker placement, and as I said, crisis management, and you're chucking some dice to do some fighting and all those kinds of things.
- This is to me my handsdown favorite deck builder out there. Period. I adore it.
- It's a dice placement game and I I loved it.
- It's just super asymmetric, which has that moment of, you know, some people don't know what you're doing, so maybe they don't know if you're cheating or breaking the rules or whatever it is.
- This is based on Dante's Inferno. The game's called Inferno, which is a very cool theme to me.
- And just it's a heavy game.
- In fact, I think this is the absolute top limit of how heavy a Euro game can be and I still would be interested in playing it regularly.

Quotes (from this video)
- We're not trying to simulate a battle or simulate. We're trying to evoke feelings, right? And we're trying to communicate key points.
- If you're too accurate, you lose the vibe. And if you're very viby and you're going for that authentic feeling, then you can't have too much chrome on it.
- The dangerous part is the video does a really good job... it just gets off the rails and starts to hallucinate when it jumped from the unit being deployed to the UK...
- We have officially reached the point where there's just stuff out there that is slop and you have to follow up.
- I feel like the artists we've worked with have also impacted our design like mechanically even on the when graphic starts to get done.
- the game doesn't exist without all of those people, right?
- I never get to play my favorite games often and I certainly don't get to play my favorite games a lot.

- The problem with voidfall is that there's just too much in it. It's it takes a million years to set up. It takes a million years to get it played. It takes a million years to learn how to play the damn thing.
- I've quite enjoyed this game a lot playing it in solo. I I really do dare say that I think solo is going to be the way to play this game.
- It's also a table hog and a half.
- I don't know how useful that knowledge is, frankly.
