Title: Now, live on Gamefound: Scope Panzer & Trilogy
Post by: DracoIdeas on September 06, 2023, 04:13:02 AM
I share this new game that we have developed:

+ Scope Panzer is a tank combat card game set in the European theater of WWII. One player leads a squad of American tanks, which faces a squad of German tanks commanded by the other player in a battle of ambush tactics and close-range encounters.

Get the new installment of the series... or the complete trilogy!

https://gamefound.com/en/projects/draco-ideas/scope-panzer (https://gamefound.com/en/projects/draco-ideas/scope-panzer)

Scope Trilogy offers all three games of this series recreating three exciting episodes of World War II. Three games with completely different mechanics and themes, easy to play, fast-paced and a lot of fun!

+ Scope U-boot: Two players recreate the tension of the Battle of the Atlantic. Early in World War II, in the middle of the North Atlantic and out of range of air cover, the dreaded German U-boats stalk in wolf packs the Allied convoys carrying essential supplies for the European war effort. One player commands the German submarines attacking a convoy of cargo and escort ships commanded by the other player. The U-boats will try to sink the cargo ships moving through the game area, while the escort destroyers try to locate and destroy the German submarines.

+ Scope Stalingrad: A sniper duel in the battle of Stalingrad. You will have to hide, aim and shoot at the targets before the rival sniper locates your position. Move your decoys wisely to spot the opposing sniper... Be careful! When you shoot, the sound of the shot shows the area where you are hiding...

The rulebooks are available at Gamefound and you can play online!

Thanks!

Shame I don't play head to head...I'm pretty sure this game wouldn't play well solo  ;D  :silly:

No, this game cannot be played alone. You need to put on a poker face and deceive your opponent, with fog of war. We have pure solitaire games like Tetrarchia. I recommend it to you.

New update!
Scope Panzer also differs from the other games in the Scope series in its victory conditions, as it can be won in two different ways.

It does look fantastic. But here's the question: is there a solo mode to any of the three games?

Sorry, we understand your demand, but the most significant characteristic of the SCOPE is the concealment, the bluffing and the dynamics that are established between the players when mislead and surprise the opponent. In a solitaire game, this type of interaction is totally lost.
On the other hand, SCOPE games are fast and very easy to learn, with 10-15 minute games for 2 players, so it's not difficult at all to bring them to table with practically anyone.

But to play alone I recommend this best-selling game. It is played equally by 1 to 4 players: TETRARCHIA:

Thanks! I ask as I host a couple of podcasts that focus on one-player games. I love a good U-boat or Stalingrad-themed game. Disappointing there's no solo mode, but given the card play, it makes complete sense.

Thank you for the heads-up on Tetrarchia; I'll check it out.  :bigthumb:

Last days!!

We're entering the last days of the campaign and there's still time for you to be surprised by the game possibilities offered by Scope Panzer: fire correction, armor and penetration, terrain and line of sight.
Today we talk on some more advanced rules
