War Room

About this board game

War Room is a deluxe global World War II game for 2-6 players, with a 360-minute play time. Released in 2019, it places each player in command of a nation and challenges them to coordinate with allies while directing a worldwide war effort.

Players collaborate to plan their maneuvers before resolving secret, simultaneous orders for movement and production. Every decision contributes to the wider campaign, from positioning forces and expanding armies to maintaining control of important territories.

Conflicts unfold across land, sea, and air. During battles, players assign stances for each unit type, making those choices an important part of how engagements are approached. Careful planning and coordination are essential as nations attempt to attack where their enemies least expect it.

• Coordinate maneuvers with allied nations.
• Resolve secret, simultaneous movement and production orders.
• Assign battle stances for units in land, sea, and air conflicts.
• Control territories and protect convoys.
• Manage the varied resources needed to expand your army.
• Capture enemy capitals and crush national morale.

Resource control is central to the struggle. Maintaining a tight grip on territories and guarding convoys helps secure the varied resources required to build up military strength, while every offensive risks changing the balance of the campaign.

In War Room, victory comes through more than winning individual battles. Players must combine production, movement, territorial control, convoy protection, and morale pressure as they strive to capture enemy capitals and secure the final victory.
