OGRE Objective 218

Ogre: Operation 218 marries Ogre's classic world with the card-based play style of The Battle for Hill 218 for an all-new game!

"I first played Hill 218 at BGGCon late in 2007 and immediately bought a copy. The chance to produce an Ogre-themed version of The Battle for Hill 218 is one of those 'yes, please' opportunities that we don't get every day," said Philip Reed, CEO of Steve Jackson Games.

For Ellis, bringing Ogre and The Battle for Hill 218 together was an easy decision. "The Battle for Hill 218 is one of those rare games that I never get tired of playing, and I hear the same from players all over the world," said Ellis. "Steve Jackson Games is a perfect partner to make that happen and Ogre is a great game to move into the Hill 218 engine. The only downside is that I'll end up spending my royalties on GURPS books, but I can live with that."

About The Battle for Hill 218

The Battle for Hill 218 is a card-based strategy game in which two players fight to control a hill by occupying bases on the opposite sides. Players must maintain supply lines and destroy enemy units to advance on the enemy home base, while ensuring that their own base is not taken. Air strikes can aid your assault or help defend your base, but spend them wisely . . . you only have two.
