Ostkrieg: WWII Eastern Front

About this board game

Ostkrieg: WWII Eastern Front is a strategic-level game for 1–2 players, with an approximate play time of 240 minutes, covering the entire war in the east from Barbarossa until 1945.

The game presents the Eastern Front across a sequence of yearly turns. Each turn represents one year of the conflict, creating a clear framework for following the war from its beginning through 1945.

Rather than resolving each year with a single action, Ostkrieg: WWII Eastern Front uses a card-driven system. Every year includes multiple card plays for each side, making the card-play structure a central part of the game’s strategic format.

• Strategic-level scope: Covers the entire war in the east.
• Yearly turns: Each turn represents one year.
• Multiple card plays: Each side plays cards several times during every year.

This combination of broad historical scope and repeated card play organizes the conflict into a series of annual stages. The result is a focused strategy game built around the progression of the Eastern Front from Barbarossa to the war’s conclusion in 1945.

Released in 2020, Ostkrieg: WWII Eastern Front offers a substantial 240-minute experience for one or two players. Its strategic scale, annual turn structure, and card-driven gameplay define a game centered on the full Eastern Front campaign rather than a single moment of the war.
