(June PreOrder)

The giant tank rumbles toward its target . . . its guns are gone, its movement crippled, but only a few defenders are left. Will they stop the robot juggernaut, or will it crush the Command Post beneath its gigantic tracks?

Ogre was Steve Jackson’s first game. It’s a fastmoving, hex-based wargame in which the defender has a force of armor and infantry. The attacker has a single giant tank, the Ogre, with many guns . . .
and it can only be destroyed a piece at a time. Originally published in 1977, it was a hit as the
first “Microgame,” and is now considered a classic. Over 25 years after its release, Ogre earned a spot in James Lowder’s popular book Hobby Games: The 100 Best.

Now the Ogre is back . . . in a gigantic new “designer’s edition” that will be the crown of any game collection.

The Designer’s Edition box is 21.5” by 17.625” by more than 3.5” deep, and will weigh over 15 pounds, because it’s stuffed full of maps and counters. The game has a “case pack” of one, so each individual game will come to you in a cardboard overwrap

There are five giant-sized mapboards . . . one for the original Ogre, and four even larger (28.2” x 32.4” each) from the follow-on sets G.E.V., Shockwave, and Battlefields. Hexes are 1.5 inches across. Dozens of small and large terrain overlays let you tweak the maps a little . . . or a lot. The four large maps are geomorphic, so you can set up a game area more than 4 x 5 feet, or more than 2 x 9 feet . . . and rearrange it in thousands of combinations!
