Bomber in a book (BiaB) is a Print and Play game of the strategic bombing campaign over the Third Reich in World War II. The player takes the part of a leader of a squadron of B-24 Liberators (the most produced four-engine bomber during the War, by the way!) from mission planning to return.
Having played the Avalon Hill classic “B-17 Queen of the Skies (QotS)” and familiar with most games in this genre (Target for Today, Luftwaffe, Bomber etc.) I was very pleased with this fast-playing game’s learning curve and mechanics (not to mention the price).
First, the components are typical of Steven’s games – gorgeous, accurately rendered, and easy to read. But the game really stands out against its contemporaries in its decision-making elements.
