About this game

The Battle of Tanga was the first major movement by Britain during World War 1 against the German East Africa colony. A diverse mix of colonial troops from India took part in the landings. Plagued with numerous problems, the British pressed on against the outnumbered German Schutztruppe and their Askari soldiers.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
