ByMichail

The Castle

Castle Itter is a board game based on the Battle for Castle Itter, which was fought near the Austrian village of Itter on May 5, 1945. The game is designed to simulate the events of the battle, where a small group of American soldiers, along with German soldiers and French prisoners of war, defended a castle against an attack by the Waffen-SS. The game is divided into turns, and each turn consists of two phases. The goal of the game is to last until the SS deck is depleted, without allowing SS Counters to reach the castle. You score points for each Defender that survives the assault and lose points for each SS Counter remaining on the board at the end of the game.
