Summary
This War of Mine: The Board Game is certainly not going to be for every gamer, that's for sure. Players will be forced to make hard choices and the overall tone of the proceedings is one of sadness and horror. The game mechanisms might not be to some folks liking either since there are quite a few areas in which the players decide how the rules operate. Personally, I found the game to be thought provoking, educational, and an extremely difficult challenge. I'm tempted to say you experience This War of Mine as opposed to simply playing it as it stays with you well after you've closed the box.
