Fantastic! You’re gonna love it. Happy to help.

I think you'll like this one. Great fun!

It is! I think you'll really enjoy it!

I do.

It's a great game!

Have you had a chance to play it much since this review was posted? How would you say it holds up over time? Love your videos :)

I played this a while ago, though I screwed up on a rule or two: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hd2pn9Bm0pbSfY0.html

Thanks for the clarification.

Indeed. Great game.

As well you should!

Everyone should have that card!

Robert Austin I’ve heard a lot of people have a problem with that aspect. I don’t know, for me this game is as much about the journey. I don’t mind a little bit of chance here and there. May there is a better way to make this work, but I really enjoy it regardless.

The Discriminating Gamer I’m with you on the journey part and it really is a fun ride. Maybe one day they can smooth the landing out a bit with a revised edition. I’m probably just bitter because I’m like 0-5 in that game. Appreciate all your great reviews over the years Cody!

I can live with the idea that no matter how carefully your plot was planned you still need some luck to succeed. If you know the Valkyrie story you will know what I mean.

I haven't played that one. I'll have to check it out if I get the chance.

Actually was a SPI S&T game originally. Played it once when it came out, not really recommended.

Why not?

I'd recommend watching Stuka Joe's KZfaq replay of "Plot to Assassinate Hitler". The replay made me track down a copy of it. It can be had a pretty reasonable prices since it's not everyone's shot of Schapps, but I think the game was ahead of its time. It's worth finding the game with the S&T magazine in which it appeared for the background info.

Thanks!

I felt like the rules here were pretty straight forward. I played the first edition a while back and can't remember what I thought about those rules, but no complaints about the rulebook for the second edition.

Um... About eleven...

You can't fool me! She's from Stranger Things! ... Unless time travel is involved....

Seriously though, great review! It has my interest as I have always admired Bonhoeffer and thought his story was fascinating and tragic.

Indeed. He was a remarkable man. I've always held him much higher than I do Canaris, Stauffenberg, and many of the other conspirators.

Fantastic!

Lot of chance, here, to be sure- but I'm sure there was plenty of chance that confronted the conspirators. After all, von Clauswitz said, "War is the realm of chance."

The Discriminating Gamer yes there was chance and Hitler got lucky. That doesn't mean it is a good game mechanic. It was just that the fun part in the game was the logistics to get everything set up. Then I felt like a conspirator. I am not a game designer I cannot say how it should have been different. I just felt that the difficulty should have been to get everything ready without getting caught. Like in Pandemic. My feeling was to spend alot of time planing and fixing and then be foiled by the dice and there might be more time left in the game but not enough to try again. The game just kind of dies, with a whimper and not with a bang. I still have the game. The theme is done so great if only...

Fair enough.

Well. That is just my opinion. I like your review, as always. I tend to agree with you. That you like it makes me feel that I made the right decision to keep it. I will play it again.

I'd urge you to give it another go. I understand the feeling about it being anti-climatic, but the odds are so rarely in your favor in the game, I like the tension and build up a lot.
