The Conspirators were all captured in a coordinated raid that spanned the continent. After several bad rolls and the dark shadow of despair, the game was lost and the Conspirators faded into the pages of history. Black Orchestra is such an amazing accomplishment of combining theme, history, education and mechanics into a tense, exciting cooperative game that still treats the difficult subject matter with respect.

Getting set up to show a friend a game of Black Orchestra. A truly remarkable cooperative game by @pdubarry where we are all playing real-life historic figures who actually tried to kill Hitler during WWII. If we kill Hitler then we win the game. Everyone we show this game to wants to read and learn more about these real people and the real plots and events in this game. Thanks to my amazing friend @suckitbrent who gave me this incredibly thematic and sombre game. #BoardGames #TabletopGames #gaming #PhilipduBarry #WWII #LetsKillHitler #CooperativeGames #DiceGames #GamesBringPeopleTogether #history #HistoricGames #BoardGameAddict #EducationalGames #BlackOrchestra https://www.instagram.com/p/BtE4H0MHznX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10w2vfyj7rawq

Black Orchestra was the term used by the Gestapo during WWII referring to a group of conspirators plotting to kill Adolf Hitler. It took us three tries but Sherri and I did it! We killed Hitler in a two-player game on easy. Probably time to bump up the difficulty... but just slightly. 😙 I feel like winning this game, regardless of difficulty, is a really big accomplishment! Such a brilliant game that teaches a bit of the history behind the very real-life stories of the very real attempts by real people trying to kill Hitler during World War II. Trying to rewrite history in the form of a game is a great way to inspire people to research and read up on this dark era.

Apparently today is #InternationalTabletopDay ...we played #KingdomOfSolomon by #PhilipDuBarry without even knowing it's ITTD! I won by gaining the favor of the High Priest, completing construction of the temple in Jerusalem, and monopolizing the copper market #mwahahahaha (at Columbus, Ohio)

Our little Black Orchestra.... and so it ends. With all 4 conspirators in prison at the hands of The Nazis. Great game. Hard but great!
