About the game
Stawka większa niż życie (More than life at stake) is board game inspired by most popular tv series produced by TVP (Polish television) in 1967. This black and white series is broadcasted almost every year (by different Polish tv channels). Action takes place during World War II in Poland occupied by Germans. In game one player becomes a member of the Polish resistance and try to execute tasks against occupants. The second player becomes a member of German forces and tries to stop Polish actions. Each player controls up to four agents. Each turn player choose a card which decides whose agent first makes his move and what is the amount of action points. This points can be used to moving agents on map and taking special actions like searching for items or evidence of illegal activity. They can try to talk with enemy agents to force them to reveal secret information. German agents may try arrest Poles but polish agents may try to make assassination of gestapo officers. After successful actions, players receive Victory Points. Both players can play cards to use special effects or to disturb enemy actions. Every scenario has special win conditions (like finding some items or execute some activities). If this conditions are not achieved, players must compare Victory Points they gathered.
