Battle Card: Market Garden (2023)

About this game

Battle Card: Market Garden is a quick-playing (~5 minutes) solitaire Post-card wargame about one of the most iconic battles of WWII - Market Garden. In the game, the player takes the role of the Allies, controlling the 1st, 82nd, and 101st Airborne Divisions as they try to take control of their sectors and make way for the 30th Corps to reach Arnhem. The game uses a simple combat results table (CRT) to resolve battles based on whether the Allies or the Germans have advantage. The player has six turns for the 30th Corps to reach Arnhem or they lose the game. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
