Description
This is a card game set in World War II that revolves around the decryption of the German Enigma machine. It is based in Bletchley Park, a military facility in Buckinghamshire, England, where German codes were decoded. Each player takes on the role of an Enigma machine operator, and competes against others to encode and decode messages faster than their opponents and avoid being blocked by the German soldiers. The game involves strategic thinking and concentration, and is rich in historical content. The gameplay involves collecting sets of cards with different symbols from a shared pool while also trying to prevent other players from collecting the cards they need.
