La Segunda Guerra Mundial is a board game released in 1982 for 2–4 players and 90 minutes per game. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Hexagon Grid.
La Segunda Guerra Mundial. Components: A 80x64 cms board, 144 counters, rules book and one six sided die. It is part of a series of simple wargames edited in Spain by NAC in the 80s. This one covers the whole European theater of WW2, and while being the one that simplifies the most the combat mechanics (counters have just the nationality symbol, no movement/combat factors), it delivers many of the choices that were taken during the conflict: the Axis has an initial superiority, though not enough to fight a blitzkrieg on all fronts, and has to choose between a conservative approach on the East to try and take the Western powers out of the game before the US enters the war, or attack the USSR earlier than 41 before it is ready to battle back, and prepare an "Atlantic Wall"... without neglecting the North African shores! A simple game that allows you and your friends to reenact the European WW2 in less than 2h.
La Segunda Guerra Mundial 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 La Segunda Guerra Mundial is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
La Segunda Guerra Mundial has a complexity rating of 1.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
