Overview

Churchill puts players in the roles of the Allied leaders during World War II – Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin. The game centers on a series of high-level conferences where players negotiate strategy, manage resources, and maneuver for political influence. Players roll dice representing military successes, assign leaders to different fronts, and work towards achieving victory objectives, all while managing their own domestic agendas.

The core of the game revolves around an auction mechanic. Players bid with influence points to control key conference issues. Securing favorable outcomes gives advantages on the war front and strengthens a player’s post-war position. However, overextending influence in one area can leave a player vulnerable in others, demanding careful planning and strategic negotiation. Ultimately, Churchill is a complex game of political maneuvering and strategic warfare, where players must balance the needs of the alliance with their own ambitions to emerge as the dominant power after the war.
