Bear Trap adapts the game system from Sekigahara to this new setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne player takes command of the ruling Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and its forces, supported by the Soviet 40th Army. The other player takes command of the local tribal rebels (the Lashkar) and Mujahideen guerrilla fighters. The Soviet player seeks to prop up the sympathetic local government and “solve the Russian Ice-lock Problem” while the Insurgent player seeks to expel the foreign invaders and secularist government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGameplay consists of alternating turns playing cards to replenish, activate, and move units on an area-based map of Afghanistan, with battles occurring whenever units from both sides end up in the same space. Bear Trap adapts the core mechanics from GMT Games' classic Sekigahara, allowing for the possibility of betrayal and defections, but also adds several new aspects, such as hidden unit stances, powerful strategy cards, and a unique card-assisted solo mode for the Insurgent side (playing against a Soviet solitaire opponent).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBear Trap is first and foremost a 2-player game, but it also includes rules for solo play (which utilizes a card-assisted Soviet bot).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime Scale: 16-20 months per Reshuffle\u003cbr\u003eUnit Scale: 1 Block = 500 - 8,000 soldiers\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players: 1 to 2\u003cbr\u003ePlay Time: 2 to 3 hours\u003cbr\u003eComplexity: Low (3\/9 on GMT's scale)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44544476545075,"sku":"2607","price":93.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/files\/pic9292286.png?v=1784267590"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.boardgamebliss.com\/collections\/p-r-daniels.oembed","provider":"Board Game Bliss","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
