Giga Mech Games will be releasing the WWII game Maquis this Fall. In the game, designed by Jake Staines, the player will lead their band of French resistance fighters against the occupying Nazis. The game is for one player, age 14+, plays in around 30 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $25.00 when it arrives in October.
About the game:
Engage the Nazi occupation of France in la petite guerre to throw off the yoke of the oppressors and free your homeland!
Maquis is a solitaire worker-placement game with variable goals and a play time of approximately twenty minutes. The player places his resistance agents on spaces around town to achieve his goals – blowing up trains, publishing underground newspapers – but at the same time Milice collaborators and Wehrmacht soldiers patrol the area. Agents who can’t make it back to the safe house at the end of the day are arrested, and never seen again.
