OTPISANI Belgrade Resistance 1941-45

Quick summary:

Otpisani - Belgrade Resistance 1941-45 is a coop game for up to 5 players set in the alternative history setting of occupied Belgrade during WW II. Players will have to work together to stop Germans to get a firm grasp on the city by doing counter-intelligence work, small military actions, sabotage of infrastructure and assassinations of key enemy leaders.

About the Game:

After a long period I've decided to make another one of my 'big games'. Usually, I had 2-3 of those each year, but they were a big commitment because, as a 'one man army' I had to make everything myself from scratch, so for some time I stopped doing that, focusing on smaller projects. I call 'big games' those projects that have over 100 cards, tokens and other components, enough to fill one half-sized Gloomhaven box.
This one is a product of frustration and inability to acquire the 'Black Orchestra', kickstarter exclusive that will never be available for purchase in my country and I wanted to play it so bad! So, what did I do? I started to make my own game based on it.
Combining the Black Orchestra with the most popular TV series about Balkan resistance fighters was a match made in heavens, first and best idea that came to my mind!

Similarities and differences with Black Orchestra

So, is this a clone or what? Not exactly. If anything this is Black Orchestra II, attaining some mechanics from the original game, but getting a big dosage of steroids of new things! Black Orchestra was about killing Hitler through covertly operations with hopes that one plot will be successful and end the game, but in Otpisani, Belgrade Resistance, stakes are much higher, fight is much tougher.
German patrols and agents of the special police are roaming the city, constantly looking for our heroes, there are checkpoints and city blocks under the marshal law. Everyone is suspicious to enemy forces and the lives are easily lost in Gestapo raids.

So, here is the list of some new elements in the game:

- Obviously, new map and the setting. Belgrade, as the main city of Serbia was an important military stronghold. It must not completely fall under the German rule.

- Adversaries. They are the main antagonist that will hunt players. Each of them have 2 different approaches to the doctrine of how to fight the resistance, and each of the doctrine come with a special event deck that cycles as the game progress. To win, players must eliminate them!

- Occupation track - as the Germans manage to capture more insurgents and prevent their missions this track will advance, making adversaries stronger, until it reaches the end and spell a GAME OVER for players.

- Missions. Instead of plots, players now have Missions, that also come with a Mission progress track. To get to the Adversaries players will first have to finish couple of missions, before making a coup d'etat and win the game.

- Insurgents and Sidekicks. Players will be able to recruit other freedom fighters to help them during the missions, and many missions will have a demand for hired help. Sidekicks will give players unique abilities that can be activated with dice placement.

- Loyalty cards. Every person you recruit for the cause also come with a face down loyalty card. Is he really a freedom fighter, or an enemy agent that will spill your plans to the Gestapo? Also, during the game, adversaries will, using their own Loyalty cards, seed them in the main deck as a double agents! Whom can you trust?

- Players now have three main skills: FIGHT, GUERRILLA and CHARISMA, used for testing during some events or for using newly added actions, like AMBUSH, DIVERSION, RECRUIT or AGITATION.

- SS patrols and agents of the special police are moving though city blocks. They use an area control mechanics, together with random road blocks and checkup points. It will not be easy to stay hidden for long!

- Limitations. Everything in the game is limited in numbers. There is only 18 Insurgents that you can recruit through the whole game, only 7 Player boards and 8 Sidekicks. People will die or get arrested, and there are no reinforcements. You will have to work with little that you have. Supplies are also limited, items do not re-spawn, and some chances come and go, to be lost forever.

- Massive replay-ability. Each Adversary comes with 2 doctrines and 2 event decks, each year have its own event deck of 12 cards (only 6 used), out of 18 Sidekicks only 8 are randomly used per game, out of 24 missions, only 15 random are used per game, of 24 loyalty cards, only 18 are used randomly and seeded with enemy agents cards depending on the difficulty level.... Not one playthrough will ever be the same!
