About the game
Kampen om Norge ("The Battle of Norway") is a strategy board game about the German invasion of Norway in 1940. Each player takes control of the armed forces of either Norway, The Allies, or Germany. Using plastic soldier playing pieces that represent armies, and cards that represent war ships, bombers, fighters and special actions, the players battle for control of the six victory cities on the board. Managing the resources you get from your playing cards is crucial to succeed. The game is fast-paced and has a quick set-up, yet offers a wide range of strategic options and variations. The starting point of the game and the resources available to the different factions are based on the historical conditions, but the players have the chance to change the course of history. Kampen om Norge is suitable for 2–3 players (or teams) and is playable in 2–3 hours. Den 9. april 1940 overfaller tyske stridskrefter et nøytralt og dårlig forberedt Norge. Felttoget i Norge er høyt spill, men Hitler har bestemt seg for å legge landet under jernhælen. Norske og allierte styrker mobiliserer og nekter å gi seg uten kamp. Klarer de å stanse det tyske stormløpet? Dette er utgangspunktet for strategispillet Kampen om Norge, et spennende brettspill om den tyske invasjonen i 1940, som gir spillerne mulighet til å utøve historiekunnskap i praksis. Tidenes første norske strategi-krigsspill er lekkert utført med naturtro brikker, realistiske spillekort og et detaljert kart. Hver spiller påtar seg rollen som øverstkommanderende for de militære styrkene til Norge, de allierte eller Tyskland. Ved hjelp av brikker, terninger og spillekort utkjemper spillerne en kamp seg imellom på brettet, der Norge og de allierte sammen må forsøke å stoppe Tysklands frammarsj på norsk jord og hindre at Tyskland okkuperer alle de viktige byene. Spillerne må ta strategiske valg, forvalte ressursene på spillekortene, flytte sine bataljoner omkring på spillebrettet og kjempe mot motstanderen om landområdene. Den som velger den smarteste strategien, har best sjanse til å vinne, men det hjelper også å være venn med terningene. Kampen om Norge kan spilles i to vanskelighetsgrader.
