The MOG: Mogadishu 1993

About this board game

The MOG: Mogadishu 1993 is a solitaire game for 1 player, with an average play time of 90 minutes, that places you in command of UN forces during the Battle of Mogadishu.

On October 3, 1993, US Special Forces prepared to raid a building known as the Meeting House near the Olympic Hotel. Their mission was to capture high-level members of Mohamed Farrah Aidid’s Somali National Alliance. Your objective is to get the US forces and their captives out of Mogadishu and safely back to a UN base.

Aidid’s forces know the raid is underway and move to attack the UN troops. You control the UN side, while solitaire rules direct the opposing Somali forces. The game features snipers, militia, RPGs, and technicals, alongside Delta Force operators, Ranger Chalks, Humvees, and Combat Search and Rescue units.

• Six historical missions based on the events of October 3, 1993
• A random setup generator for creating different scenarios
• UN relief convoys and UN air support
• Casualties and roadblocks
• Optional AC-130 gunships and random events

The included 22×17 gameboard maps Mogadishu, while 88 double-sided counters represent the forces and other game elements. A quick reference sheet and 16-page rulebook complete the contents.

With its focused solitaire system, historical missions, and variable setup options, The MOG challenges you to manage the raid, respond to attacks, and find a route home before the operation collapses.
