TANNHAUSER

If you enjoy war games and pondering alternate realities, then this is the game for you! Tannhauser has been thoughtfully designed to engross the player into another world. One of the elements that makes this game unique is its "U-Chronic Universe", which is an alternate universe resembling our own, yet different enough to capture the players' imagination. In Tannhauser, the year is 1949 and the Great War (WWI) was never finished, thus fighting is continuing some thirty-five years later. Naturally, this has changed the course of history as the timeline continues on a different path. One of the characteristics that really makes this game stand out is its cutting edge "Pathfinding System", an innovative approach to expediting game play. It is composed of a clever targeting system (made up of colored circles with up to three different colored arcs) which is depicted upon the board game itself. This allows the players to determine action zones and the line of site for the entire cast of characters, hastening game play since players no longer need to requisite the instruction manual as frequently. Tannhauser offers three levels of difficulty as well as four modes of play which are as follows: Story Mode, Domination Mode, Death Match, and Catch the Flag. These combinations allow for a multitude of gaming experiences. Players also have a comprehensive lineup to choose from when picking characters and their various attributes, therefore giving individual players different abilities while covering more bases as a team. There is an assortment of five good characters (the 42nd Alter-Marine Special Forces) and five evil characters (the Reich and Obscura Korps) and each comes with an individual character board to keep track of equipment, skills, and points. The objective of the game is to keep the evil forces from dominating the world through unholy, nefarious means. Infact, the beginning of the game begins with a military briefing and you are given the mission, code named Tannhauser. To date there are seven expansion packs that are easily integrated into the game which adds to this unique gaming experience where no two games are alike!
