Undaunted: Stalingrad

Undaunted: Stalingrad is a standalone game that puts players in the midst of the intense conflict in the city of Stalingrad during World War II. Featuring over 300 unique illustrations by Roland MacDonald and 150 evocative mission briefings by Robbie MacNiven, this game offers an immersive and challenging experience for up to two players.

As the bullets and bombs tear the city apart, players must use their wits and valor to seize the crucial battleground of the Eastern Front and change the course of history. Every casualty suffered in battle will weaken your forces for the entire campaign, and every inch lost to the enemy brings you closer to defeat. Over the course of up to 15 branching scenarios, you will decide the fate of Stalingrad and, possibly, the war itself.

Undaunted: Stalingrad offers a deep and engaging gameplay experience, with the consequences of your actions carrying over throughout the campaign. The game can be fully reset and replayed, allowing you to explore every potential outcome. It’s recommended for players aged 14 and up, and can be played in 45-60 minutes. The game includes 300+ cards, 100+ map tiles, 4 dice, tokens, and campaign booklets.
