Bitwa Warszawska is a board game released in 2020 for 2–4 players, 60–90 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Michał Sieńko and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Area Movement, and Area Majority / Influence.
Bitwa Warszawska is a game coveting one of the most important battles of the twentieth century. The battle of Warsaw was fought in 1920 between the Polish troops defending the freshly recovered independence of their country and the Soviet forces trying to bring the flame of the communist revolution to Central Europe. The epic struggle finished with a decisive Polish victory stopping the Soviet advance and most probably saving Europe from a Bolshevik incursion. The game was designed and published to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the battle. One player (or one team) will take control of the Polish forces whereas the other will play the Soviets. Using a deck of cards they will be adding new troops to the frontline, manœuvre their forces and deploy powerful leaders. At the end of each turn battles will be resolved and victory points will be allocated. The first side to reach 7 points wins.
Bitwa Warszawska supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Bitwa Warszawska is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Bitwa Warszawska for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
