Battle for Hill 218

Game Information

Your Move Games

Hill 218 looks just like any other hill on your map, but High Command says it's important and it's your job to take it. Unfortunately the enemy has the same plan.

The Battle for Hill 218 is an abstract strategy card game for two players, taking 15 - 30 minutes to play.

Surprising depth here for such a simple and quick game and at heart, that's the appeal here. The apparent military theme is a bit of a shame - it's mirrored in the gameplay not at all beyond the sense that you're gradually "outflanking" an opponent - this is really an abstract.

Let me say that this is a great little game. It's awesome how they manage to tie a lot of wargame concepts--support fire, flanking, supply lines--into this compact, fast playing game.

For $10, you can't go wrong. You can even try it on their website for free.

Only knock is that it can feel pretty abstract sometimes, but for the goal of creating a very light wargame-style conflict card game that's fast playing and has a lot of strategy, they really nailed it here.

This is an odd little two player game of simple card placement. Each player has a small number of cards, placement rules are pretty simple, and games are over fairly quickly. Yet it's oddly satisfying. Seems like it should have pretty finite replayability, but if that's the case, I haven't noticed yet.
