We've been busy turning this game inside-out trying to create a really special gaming experience for you. Playtesting can be exhausting work – lots of hours, many of them late, but a wonderful collaborative final product will be the result.

Victory in Europe captures the entire war in Europe in a fast-paced experience. The game begins in late 1939 and ends up to six years later. Game time is three to five hours. The game is played on a large, round map of Europe that spans the continent from Spain to the Caspian Sea, and from North Africa to Norway. The game employs many of the proven mechanics in other Columbia blockgames, with innovative leader rules and a card deck that elegantly handles the history of the whole war.
