About the Game

On May 10, 1940, the Battle of France began with the German army - following the Manstein Plan - invading the Low Countries and France. Despite French and British attempts to maintain a continuous line of defense, the front was broken at Sedan. The British evacuated from Dunkirk, and, after further German advances, France signed the Armistice on June 22.

'Guerre Eclair' is a card-driven game for two players lasting around 45 minutes. Control the German forces and push hard with your Panzers. Keep the Allies guessing your ultimate goal. Or take charge of the Allied armies, organizing your defense, and counter-attacking when you can.

Note from the publisher: Guerre Eclair is a remake of the 2019 game The Rise of Blitzkrieg by Bonsai Games.
