The Game Design
Königsberg ´45 is taught in 30 minutes and easy to digest yet a challenge even for the more experienced players. It is built around the same system of rules that have shaped both Plan West and the upcoming Tanneberg 1914.
The game uses a chit pull system telling you which armies to move. Each turn is two days and the game has 10 turns.

Königsberg´45 was released on February 1st 2011.
