Matthias Cramer is a very prolific game designer. What is interesting, he creates games for a very wide plethora of game publishers. When last year I saw that Salt & Pepper Games will be issuing small, fast and beautiful asymmetric game by that author about Graf Spee and its adventures, I knew I need to get it!

Couple of words about the game. The Hunt is an asymmetric duel in which one player assumes the leadership of the British Royal Navy, while the other player represents the German Kriegsmarine. Each side has its own deck of cards. In order for the German side to win, it must stay hidden from the British while sinking five cargo ships. The British player must hunt down and fight the Admiral Graf Spee in a final naval battle, in which case the side that ends up with less damage wins.

I will explain the main game mechanics in above short video as well as present some exemplary turns. I hope you will get hooked to this game the way I did! Enjoy!
