The Hunt

September 1939: Admiral Graf Spee's commanding officer receives orders to sink as many British cargo ships as possible in the South Atlantic. The aim of The Hunt is to intercept ships crossing the Atlantic and prevent supply to the UK and other destinations.

The plan seemed to work in the first few months. Within a few weeks, the Admiral Graf Spee sank nine cargo ships and sent almost 50,000 gross tons to the bottom of the sea. This gigantic loss put the army's London Whitehall command under pressure. To best protect its cargo ships, the Admiralty has no choice but to reinforce the English fleet in the South Atlantic by sending three cruisers to what is known as "The Battle of River Plate".

Each player has his own deck of cards. To win, the German side must remain hidden from the British while sinking five freighters. The British player must track down and fight Admiral Graf Spee in a final naval battle, in which the side that suffers the least damage wins.

Will the Royal Navy take advantage of its numerical superiority, or will the Kriegsmarine use its cunning and refined strategy to topple its rival?
