A fantastic solo game! Simple rules, quick play, many decision points. I like how the difficulty is easily scaled. Once you know what you're doing, a game should only take about 15 min. Setup is rather quick - just a few minutes. I like this one a lot! So that's an 8. Why not higher? There are 14 missions/goals (2 different levels - 1 star and 2 stars) and you play 2. After 7 plays, you'll see repeats. There are 10 patrol cards. If I play this a lot, I'll start learning the number of times each location shows up so I can plan around the unseen draw deck. I wish there were more missions. I wish there were more patrol cards. I suppose I could fix the latter by doubling the number of patrol cards and sleeving them. Might try that. A great game overall! EDIT: I just want to note that the rules are a little imprecise or fuzzy in places. The rules are a little bare bones and the missions lead to a number of edge cases and related questions. For example, I'm still guessing that a mission telling me to "visit" a location does not mean that "visit" is a new, mission-specific action that must be taken at that location and I can do the location's action as normal.

I was initially enchanted with this very clever concept for a worker placement game. After a few more plays I soured on it. There is just too much chance that an unlucky series of card draws destroys your entire position, which I find to be exceedingly frustrating. The way to mitigate this seems to be to learn all the different combinations of patrol routes that might come up and keep a careful eye on which ones have been drawn so far. Ok, fair enough, that's how you play this game - but I find it neither thematic nor fun. I'll give this another shot at some point, but not soon.

"A great small worker placement game where you place french resistence workers trying to thwart the occupying German force. You draw two mission cards at the start of a game, then attempt to achieve your mission goals in 14 days. The game has a nice back-and-forth, as you take turns against a deck of cards simply placing one worker each, trying to do so in such a way as to accomplish your goals and not get your people arrested when they come back home in a follow-up phase. It's a good looking game with a small footprint and small box. (+Puzzle, +Looks, +Time, +Objectives, -Violence)"
