On to Moscow Solitaire (2022)

About this game

The Axis invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 had the goal of ending the war in one massive quick campaign. They believed Leningrad, Moscow and southern Russia could be occupied within four to six months, bringing the war to a close, thus altering the course of World War II. In December 1941, the harsh Russian winter ended the campaign with the Axis armies on the outskirts of Leningrad and Moscow, near but ever so far from achieving their goal. Now you are in command and the decisions are yours… On to Moscow Solitaire has 25 game plays. It is a World War II strategic game that highlights the Axis campaign waged in the Soviet Union from June through December 1941 and the other theaters of war that influenced that campaign. All you need to provide is 2 dice, a pen, and a sense of adventure to play. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
