Axis & Allies, a classic good-time

Like fighting the war from the comfort of your own home, this game will make you think, and help develop your skills of strategy.

MadGamer loves this Game!

OK, call me a total geek, but I simply love to play this game. Axis and Allies recreates World War II, and it is good for two to five players, each of whom gets to play a belligerent power from the Axis or the Allies, the bad guys and the good guys. The game requires a lot of planning, foresight and the ability to manage a major economy. And even if it does take a while to play an entire game, meaning that it often needs to be left out on a floor or a table in order to keep the war from being lost, it is always fun, as long as your opponent is adequately challenging!

Axis and Allies comes in the traditional format, my favorite, but game maker Avalon Hill has issues a variety of scenario games in recent years. These include:

AXIS & ALLIES BATTLE OF THE BULGE: German tanks thunder into the snow-covered Ardennes forest, opposed only by a few unsuspecting divisions of exhausted American troops. As Axis forces plunge into the countryside, Allied troops must struggle to hold the front line in order to repel the all-out offensive.

AXIS & ALLIES: D-DAY: It’s the morning of June 6, 1944. As Allied forces prepare to storm Normandy’s beaches, the fate of Europe is in your hands

AXIS & ALLIES: EUROPE: The setting is Europe from the summer of 1941 until war's end.

AXIS & ALLIES: PACIFIC: December 7, 1941. Japanese fighters amass off of Hawaii.
