Summary: “A historic Pick-Up and Deliver, Destination Defense game. Play as cooperative (2-6 players) or 1 vs 1. Face off with the Wolf Packs of World War II in an intense campaign of suspense. Black May 1943 is a strategic, historical game that you play co-operative or 1 vs. 1, where you are in charge of getting your convoy across the Atlantic Ocean before Germany’s deadly ‘Wolf Packs’ of U-Boots sink your supply vessels. By rolling the 6 ‘Orders’ dice, you must choose which vessels to move, and in what order, to protect your supply vessel from the enemy. They will be gunning for you, so drop mines to block their path and sacrifice where you must, to deliver the much needed supplies to the Allies.”
