France, 1940. In the shadow of German occupation, a spark of defiance ignites. Liberation is a cooperative deck-building game for 1–4 players in which you lead the French Resistance — organising maquis fighters, carrying out daring missions, and working together to liberate the country before the occupying forces crush your movement.
The game features a tense asymmetrical confrontation: one player (or an automa) controls the occupying forces while the remaining players each command their own resistance cell. It's a cat-and-mouse struggle where every decision counts — recruit agents, gather resources, and strike at the right moment.
Deck building — grow your resistance cell with powerful command cards
Dice-driven missions — press your luck or plan carefully with die icon resolution
Fully cooperative — work together or face the automa solo
Asymmetric play — occupier and resistance play completely differently
Designed by François-Gilles Ricard and published by Platypus Game, Liberation delivers 40–60 minutes of historical tension and strategic depth. For 1–4 players, ages 10+. View on BoardGameGeek
