In the Shadows: Resistance in France 1943 - 1944

I received the notification today that I have been charged and the game should be shipped soon.

In the Shadows is a two-player card-driven game about the desperate struggle of the French Resistance against the occupying Nazi and collaborating French forces between January 1943 and June 1944.

A few months back, I placed an order for this game from the P500 list. The game piqued my interest, and I am eagerly anticipating setting it up and playing it. It is designed for 2 players and includes a solo bot option.

Solo Friendly. In the Shadows will also offer a narrative solitaire option where players can take on the role of a leader of the Resistance movement. These different playable characters will allow for diverse experiences against a challenging Occupation automata. Using the same mechanics as the two player game, the solo option is focused on a more immersive gaming experience. This makes In the Shadows unique in that players will essentially be able to enjoy two different games in the same box.

Designers: Dan Bullock and Joe Schmidt

The goal of the game for the Resistance is to reduce the Occupation’s authority and recruit others to the movement. For the Occupation, players will be trying to uncover Resistance cells and make arrests. The game will end immediately if either the Resistance has no presence on the map or the Occupation authority reaches the point of collapse.

Developer: Jason Carr
