The Other Side of The Hill

Step into the high-stakes world of the Second World War with The Other Side of the Hill, a strategic board game that dives deep into the internal struggles of the German High Command. As the tides of war turn and defeat looms, players will grapple with the power dynamics at play within the German military, where loyalty can swiftly turn to ambition.

In this immersive experience, you assume the role of ambitious military leaders, navigating the complex landscape of wartime strategy. Your goal? To amass Prestige by championing your chosen Army and Army Group commanders while seizing early victories. But caution is key—failure on the battlefield can swiftly shift the balance of power against you as the Allies gain momentum and push deeper into enemy territory.

Your path to dominance depends on pursuing hidden objectives that align with various Interest Groups. Will you align with the technologically adept Professionals, the steadfast Old Guard, or the dissenting anti-Nazi factions? As Allied bombers rain down on Germany’s war production facilities, and ground forces close in from every direction, players must balance their allegiances while ensuring the war effort stands strong.

Each move carries a sense of urgency, as players may secretly undermine one another, all while striving to protect their interests. The multi-faceted roles of the German General Staff require quick thinking and strategic intuition, as collective strategies can easily crumble under individual ambitions.

The Other Side of the Hill accommodates 2 to 4 players and features flexible gameplay modes—enjoy competitive, fully cooperative, semi-cooperative, or solitaire formats. The game comes with captivating playing cards that reveal fascinating historical insights about real-life German Generals, critical wartime Directives, impactful Events, and key figures involved in the infamous “Black Orchestra” plot against Hitler.
