Overview

Beaches for the Brave is a very light dice placement/allocation solitaire game which loosely represents the beach landings in Normandy and the Pacific Islands by Allied forces during World War Two. Each landing is designed to be small-scale and represents perhaps one or two boats landing on specific sections of the beaches. The various landings represented try to reflect some of the actual situations and events as they happened, but this is meant to be an accessible game which is quick and easy to play and so it is not a complex simulation. Players will still be challenged by the conditions and the enemy, so expect a tough time out there! There are 12 beaches in the game, including Utah, Gold, Juno, Omaha, Sword, Pointe du Hoc, Iwo Jima and Tarawa. You will need to add six or seven standard dice, and either a pencil and eraser or some basic tokens (a dozen or so will be enough). —description from the designer
