Description Description
Skies Above the Reich is a solitaire game depicting a Luftwaffe squadron of Bf109s struggling to deter and destroy the relentless daylight raids over Germany during World War Two. The player's individual aircraft, each represented by a stickered block, must confront the mighty "combat box" formation of the United States Army Air Force, a deadly terrain of B-17 Flying Fortresses. The game is a broad strokes depiction that presents the arc of the desperate air war. Stretching from late 1942 to early 1945, Skies Above the Reich follows that trajectory in a series of missions strung together to make a campaign. Each mission will take a half hour or more to play, while a campaign can last anywhere from six to sixty missions.

The game delivered on everything it set out to do. For being a "war game", and one by GMT, it is actually surprisingly easy to learn. Very nice combat system that makes the outcome of every turn unpredictable. Definitely have to be honest with the rolls to have maximum enjoyment. If you enjoy the kick in the pants feel from video games like Darkest Dungeon or XCOM, you'll enjoy this.

O melhor jogo de tabuleiro da minha coleção. Componentes maravilhosos, tabuleiros lindos (e totalmente inovadores), a mais bela caixa de jogo de todos os tempos (a ilustração e o acabamento gráfico são maravilhosos), jogabilidade única, imersiva e envolvente, com mecânicas inteligentes que criam uma atmosfera de jogo absolutamente sensacional. Parei na nota 10 pq o sistema da BGG não permite dar nota 1000!

Very pleased with this game. Excellent decisions to make and totally immersive play. So far my favourite solo game. Top marks too for the great artwork on the box. It reflects the excitement of what you get inside, and fondly reminds me of the splendid Roy Cross' designs on the Airfix model boxes.

Great game with a very good rulebook. Doesnt take long to learn it and then it becomes a very fast paced tactical game. Not too heavy on the dice rolling as it uses cards to resolve attacks. Do read the Post Production pdf that is posted here, especially the last bit about tactics

While mostly a solo game you can do it with 2 players. This is the best simulation game and best campaign model game I've seen from any company! Great quality components, amazing board, excellent game play once you get the turn order down. Realistic without being burdensome. Tons of replayability!
