This product is previously owned.

The Battle for Castle Itter was fought near the Austrian village of Itter on 5 May 1945, in the last days of the War in Europe during World War II. US soldiers joined forces with Wehrmacht infantrymen, an SS officer, an Austrian resistance fighter, and recently freed French prisoners of war to defend an Austrian castle against an attacking force from the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division.

During a game of Castle Itter, you take on the role of the force that defened the castle from 0400 - 1600 on 5 May 1945. The goal of the game is to last until the SS deck is depleted, without allowing SS Counters to reach the castle. You score points for each Defender that survives the assault and lose points for each SS Counter remaining on the board at the end of the game.

Solitaire Mode: You take control of the defenders of Castle Itter.

Two-Player Competitive Variant: One player controls the defenders of Castle Itter, while the other controls the SS attackers.
