Undaunted: Normandy review

Undaunted: Normandy is a fantastic two-player game that really captures the feel of small-scale WWII combat. The deck-building mechanic adds a strategic layer that keeps you engaged and constantly re-evaluating your options. I love how the game uses cards to represent units and actions, and the map tiles are beautifully designed and add to the immersion.

The game is surprisingly easy to learn, with clear rules and a straightforward setup. We usually get a game in within an hour, making it perfect for a quick and intense gaming session. The scenarios are varied and challenging, forcing you to adapt your strategy to each mission. The game does involve some dice rolling, which can be frustrating at times, but it adds an element of unpredictability that feels thematic, reflecting the chaos of war.

Overall, Undaunted: Normandy is a solid choice for anyone looking for a wargame with a good balance of strategy and accessibility. I highly recommend it for fans of WWII history and anyone looking for a two-player game with a lot of replayability.
