🐸 HOW TO PLAY
The Plot Against Hitler
In Black Orchestra , players take on the roles of real-life conspirators who plotted Hitler's assassination during World War II. Each player chooses a historical figure with a unique motivation and special ability, struggling to maintain their resolve as the Gestapo threatens.
Actions and suspicions
Each turn, you can perform up to three actions: move, search for objects, collect cards, or attempt to "conspire," rolling dice to gain extra actions. But the more risks you take, the greater your suspicions grow, and with them the likelihood of being arrested and interrogated.
Events that follow the story
The game unfolds through seven phases that retrace the events of the war. Event cards open up new areas of the map, introduce direct interactions with Hitler and his leaders, and alter the game conditions, creating a growing tension until the final turns.
Assassination plots and attempts
To win, you need to collect conspiracy cards and meet their requirements, such as having certain items or catching Hitler in a specific location. When you decide to act, you roll the dice to attempt the assassination: "Target" symbols determine success, but "Eagle" symbols can betray you and ruin the whole thing.
A cooperation without certainties
Victory is possible only through collaboration, courage, and a dose of calculated risk. If someone is arrested, decisions become solitary and can change the fate of the entire group. Black Orchestra is more than just a cooperative game: it's an intense historical experience, putting you in the shoes of those who risked everything to stop a dictatorship.

We saw him play… and it's a masterpiece of tension 🐸
Black Orchestra is no light game. It's a narrative journey between paranoia and hope , where every turn you feel the Gestapo breathing down your neck.
We observed groups of players hesitating, arguing, trembling before acting , completely immersed in the atmosphere.
The game also works very well in solo play, where the feeling of being alone against the regime reaches its peak.
A mix of history, strategy, and courage that leaves a lasting impression. Not for everyone, but a must-have for those who love themed games and history experienced with a heavy heart.
