Overview

Black Orchestra: Second Edition puts you in the shoes of members of the German resistance during World War II, desperately plotting to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Working cooperatively, players move their characters across a map of Nazi Germany and occupied territories, gathering support and resources while trying to avoid suspicion.

Each player has unique abilities and must strategically manage their actions and resources to execute various plots. The game is driven by dice rolls, which determine the success of actions and trigger events that can either aid or hinder the resistance. You must carefully balance the need to act decisively with the risk of being discovered, pushing your luck to achieve your objectives before the Gestapo closes in.
