Bismarck: The Last Battle is a compact, strategic-level solitaire game covering the last 5 days of operations of the most feared German battleship in WWII.
This game utilizes a unique and strategic card-driven battle system revolving around Bismarck's operations which will provide player with a multitude of decisions & tactics.

While extremely competitive as a solitaire game, Bismarck : The Last Battle is quite addictive for the player, as every repeatable battle is a struggle to survival.
The card-based battle system is a different take on the "normal" event/operations points driven systems. Separate card decks are provided for each game turn, in a total of 5 decks, including enemy units (carriers, planes, destroyers etc.) in a 100% historical approach.

Units comprise five different types:

Carriers
Battleships
Battlecruisers
Destroyers
Airplane Bombers


Special rules are provided for Repairs, Fire, Damage Effects, Hull Meter, Weather Condition Track, Deck & Flak Gun Attacks, etc.

The main target of the player is to sink enemy warships, shot down enemy bombers and try to survive after the last 5th turn, to win the game.
