New release: The Hunt

September 1939: The commander of the Admiral Graf Spee, Hans Lansdorff, receives orders to sink as many cargo ships as possible in the South Atlantic. The objective is to intercept ships crossing the Atlantic and prevent supplies from reaching the United Kingdom and other destinations. During the first months of the war, the plan worked. In just a few weeks, the Admiral Graf Spee sank nine ships and sent almost 50,000 tons of cargo to the bottom of the sea. This enormous loss put the military command in London under immense pressure. The Admiralty had no choice but to focus on hunting down and capturing the Admiral Graf Spee, whose end would come in what is known as the Battle of the River Plate and its aftermath. Designed by Matthias Cramer (Watergate, Lancaster) and Engin Kunter , The Hunt will be our next in-house release. It's an asymmetrical game for two players with card-driven and hidden movement mechanics, where knowledge of each player's deck will be crucial to victory.

In addition, the game will be illustrated by Albert Monteys , former editor of the satirical magazine El Jueves and author of, among others, the digital series ¡Universo! and Matadero Cinco, both nominated in their category for the Eisner Comics Awards. This will be our second collaboration with Albert, following the success of ¡Resistid!. Joao Duarte-Silva will be in charge of the graphic design. In The Hunt , one player takes on the role of the British Navy, while the other represents the German Kriegsmarine . Each player has their own deck of cards. To win, the German player must remain hidden from the British while attempting to sink five cargo ships. Conversely, the player controlling the British must hunt down and engage the Admiral Graf Spee in a decisive naval battle, where the side with the fewest casualties wins. Will the British be able to capitalize on their numerical superiority, or will the Germans, with their cunning and refined strategy, manage to defeat their rivals? An exciting and pivotal battle begins, one that will be key in defining the fate of the two great powers. The Hunt is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2023.
