Sniper Elite: The Board Game Pre-Orders
Sniper Elite: The Board Game, inspired by the popular video game series, is currently available for pre-order from Rebellion Unplugged. "As the sniper, you will keep Karl’s location secret from the other players by tracking your movement on a secret hidden board as you stalk through the shadows towards your objectives. Outnumbered but not outgunned, you must carefully manage your timing, as every shot you take and objective you complete gives the enemy more of the information they need to narrow down your position."

Reviews
A Gentle Rain (Board Game Squad): “It found me when I needed it the most. If you’re looking for an ultra-simple solo game, I recommend you check out A Gentle Rain—but no pressure.”

Honey Buzz (Gameosity): “I did enjoy it, and I do recommend it, but with those caveats. You need to know the sort of experience you’re signing up for, and you need to be cool with each player taking their time and thinking through their strategy.”

Long Shot the Dice Game (One Board Family): “This is another game that will show up at family gatherings because it’s so accessible. The board is a little smaller than I want but it still packs a nice table presence. The goofy looking cartoon horses are bright and fun while the player boards are nicely laid out.”
