Playing the game with son
Playtesting of an early prototype with my girlfriend. Thank her for downsizing playing time. Notice the old title: Fronts of Misery.
Special Dice
Gaming Weekend Spellenclub Pallieter at Maasmechele0n, Belgium, february 2023. I'm coaching two players during their first play. Both are kickstarterbackers, but above all life-time long gaming compagnons.
Our first play of the released game. At our local gaming club Tin Soldiers of Antwerp, cradle of this game. With my wargaming buddy Dirk Ogiers (right side) It was with him that in 2004 we started playing the prototype.

Overview

The Longest Trench is a two-player card game about the First World War from the strategic viewpoint. The game recreates World War I in a historical series of land and sea battles. The Central Powers (Germany and her allies) are opposed to the Entente (Great Britain, France, Russia and their allies).

As a supreme commander, you try to defeat your opponent by allocating your troops, planes, and ships with possible support (from air, mines, trenches, etc.) on the right front to the right time.

The Longest Trench is primarily designed as a quick-playing fun game and players can finish a game in one or two hours.
