🟦CONTEMPORARY | OPERATIONAL | 1-2 PLAYERS  | DURATION 180-240′
GAME DESIGN: JESÚS PÉREZ

Immerse yourself in the heart of the Spanish Civil War with Jarama: The Battle For Madrid, a captivating two-player simulation game that recreates the pivotal Battle of Jarama. This operational showdown pits the Nationalist forces, led by General Varela, against the determined Republican defenders, as they clash in a desperate struggle for control of Madrid.

The Battle of Jarama, fought from February 6 to 27, 1937, marked the third and bloodiest attempt by the Nationalists to capture Madrid, the heart of the Republican resistance. As the Nationalists sought to sever Madrid’s lifeline to the Mediterranean port of Valencia, the Republicans stood firm, determined to protect their capital and the cause of the Republic.

In Jarama, each player assumes the command of either the Nationalist or Republican forces, maneuvering their troops across the battlefield in a tactical dance of conquest and defense. The game utilizes a very particular chit-activation system, ensuring that each decision carries weight and every move has the potential to alter the course of the battle. The chit-activation systems makes this game suitable to be played solo by playing both sides of the conflict.

As the Nationalist player, your primary objective is to cut off the Valencia road, effectively isolating Madrid and crippling the Republican war effort. To achieve this, you must skillfully employ your forces, utilizing their strengths and exploiting enemy weaknesses. Seize historical key cities and hills along the way, for they will not only bolster your strategic position but also provide valuable victory points.

If you command the Republican forces, your mission is to halt the Nationalist advance, protect the vital Valencia road, and ultimately launch a counteroffensive to push the enemy back to their starting positions. This will require unwavering resilience, strategic planning, and the ability to adapt to the ever-changing tides of battle.
