This review was submitted by Varun Mukund, a seventh grader from Texas.

Axis & Allies 1941 is a fun, interactive, and strategy board game that is based on World War II in 1941. The game is about how the Axis powers—Germany and Japan—and the Allies—the United States, Great Britain, and Soviet Union—fought bravely against each other.

This board game is built on strategy and requires you to create a good, clever, and deceiving plan to vanquish the enemy. People playing this board game can play in teams based on how many play. On your turn, you buy extra armies with IPCs (money) and do combat moves with opposing players and sides. It is a great family game that everyone can enjoy for long periods of time. This game is a nail-biting thriller with some games even lasting as long as two days!

This game can be a wonderful sleepover game and there aren’t a lot of ways to cheat in this game. People of all ages will love it and you should expect to be pulled into this game for hours on end, it is so exciting!

Axis and Allies 1941 is also realistic. The map is made to look like an old version, so countries and continents are a bit different from what you would find in a modern map.

This game is sometimes a roll of the dice, literally and metaphorically. Axis and Allies 1941 requires you to think strategically and have a focused mind, so you can make the best decisions. This game also is accurate because it also represents how much power each force had during the war. Form a plan, align your armies, march into battles, and conquer the enemy.

Have fun playing this intriguing and eventful board game!
