Churchill

Amazing Game, it really feels like a three way tug of war with competing objectives and issues. I've had some amazing games of this and if two people asked me to play it, I'd set aside an afternoon to do so in a heartbeat.

设计十分精妙的一款桌游，买来两年多上桌次数20+。三人游戏制衡非常巧妙，上手简单但精通很难。 传统桌游的机制几乎不适用，通过击败轴心国来修改胜利条件的机制更是将制衡二字表现的淋漓尽致。 英国看起来不论在谈判桌上还是外交联盟上都十分强势，但是生产力比较低，军事加成极少，对于战争走向的话语权最小。 苏联点数总和最小，谈判桌上弱势，但是专注于军事行动，战争和核弹窃取可以提供大量分数，与美国形成潜在联盟，对于胜利条件（击败轴心国与否）的话语权最大。 美国生产力最高，谈判桌、外交和战争上都可以有很不错的表现，但是无法兼顾，常常需要取舍。对战争的话语权仅次于苏联，如果合适，可以联合英国很好的制衡苏联。 《丘吉尔》作为 Mark Herman 的得意之作，相较于传统的兵棋和德式桌游来说更考验谈判能力。“不战而屈人之兵”和“没有永恒的朋友，只有永恒的利益”是对这款桌游的完美诠释。 作为“主角”的丘吉尔，在这场战争中左右逢源，尝试去守住脆弱不堪的大英帝国和维护战后新秩序的多边平衡。尽管英国最终赢得了二战，但伴随着丘吉尔在战后的黯然谢幕，大英帝国作为世界强国的日子也走到了尽头。在庞大的大英帝国的尸体上，诞生了数不尽的新兴国家，而他们也不可避免的卷入了一场新的没有硝烟的战争。至于丘吉尔，他的功过是非，就留给后人去评判吧。

Enormously fascinating game of negotiation and strategy. The requirement to work closely with the other players, while simultaneously plotting to beat them, leads to a constant changing of approach - be best friends with Stalin one round, then buddy up with Roosevelt the next. Leads to some interesting moral quandaries - is it OK to tank the war against Hitler, just to win the game? Best played with roleplayers who enjoy scheming, arguing and funny accents.

Absolutely Outstanding! One of the best games out there. Extremely fun and dynamic, and tense and exciting for 2 or 3--and very absorbing as a Solitaire exercise. Educational, too! Excellent design, beautiful map and components. Can't say enough good things about this game.

A fast-playing, enjoyable, interesting, & great game covering WWII from a completely different perspective, the major Allied leaders' (Churchill, Roosevelt, & Stalin) decision-making process. Players must cooperate to beat the Axis (Germany & Japan), but must do enough on their part to gain an individual player's victory. I love this game.
