Valkyrie: A Black Orchestra Game

About this board game

Valkyrie: A Black Orchestra Game is a stand-alone game for 1–4 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Players must focus on assassinating Hitler with explosives while working to complete Operation Valkyrie.

This streamlined take on Black Orchestra delivers its familiar tension and dread in about half the time of the original. Gameplay is quicker and simpler, while new strategic elements create fresh decisions as the plot develops.

The Gestapo is always close at hand, ready to pull conspirators in for questioning. Players must stay one step ahead while pursuing one of several ways to accomplish Operation Valkyrie and bring the assassination plan to fruition.

• Focus on defeating Hitler with explosives.
• Manage the constant threat of Gestapo questioning.
• Race against evidence and the interrogation deck.

Valkyrie can end in victory when Hitler is successfully defeated. It ends in failure if the Gestapo collects enough evidence for the conspirators to be tried for treason and executed, or if the interrogation deck is exhausted.

With its compact playing time and focused objective, Valkyrie offers a tense, strategic experience centered on timing, danger, and the desperate attempt to complete a historic assassination plot.
