Jutland

About this board game

Jutland is a 1967 Avalon Hill battle game for 2-10 players, with an estimated playing time of 360 minutes. It recreates the great WWI battle using measured movement, range finding, and up to 72 individual ships.

Designed as Dunnigan’s first game for Avalon Hill, Jutland offers a large-scale tabletop experience built around careful physical measurement. The game is described as a “play on the floor” design, giving its naval battle a distinctive format that supports the movement and range-finding systems.

Players can use the game to re-fight the great WWI battle with individual ships represented in the action. Its extended 360-minute play time makes room for a substantial engagement, while the player count allows the game to be played by as many as ten people.
