About the game
World in Flames is a grand strategy game on the Second World War which was first released in 1985 by the Australian Design Group, and currently holds the title of the world's largest commercially available board game. It was designed by Harry Rowland and is currently in its eighth edition, World in Flames - Collector's Edition. Each new edition features changes to the rules, maps and counters.
The game is a strategic-level recreation of both the European and Pacific theatres of World War II. The grand campaign begins with the German invasion of Poland, although several other scenarios are included. The game contains rules determining when the Soviet Union, United States, and Italy may choose to enter the conflict.More from Australian Design Group
