	Description Edit \| History

The Battle for Hill 218 is a card-based strategy game in which two players fight to control a hill by occupying bases on the opposite sides.

Players must maintain supply lines and destroy enemy units to advance on the enemy home base, while ensuring that their own base is not taken. Air strikes can aid your assault or help defend your base, but spend them wisely...you only have two.

You can also download a free online version at http://www.yourmovegames.com/pages/hill218.html.

Rulebook in PocketMod format

I needed a small portable version of the rules, so I edited the rulebook to fit it into 8-pages PocketMod.

Reglas en español

Buenas, os dejo las reglas traducidas (no por mi) del un juego que personalmente lo considero un juegazo, por su sencillez a la hora de aprender a jugar (en 5 min) y por su "profundidad estratégica". P.D. y encima baratito

Printer Friendly, Colorblind Friendly

For owners of the game looking for a printer friendly and colorblind friendly version featuring allied forces vs. axis forces (inspired by FezAZ). Background colors are lighter to print with less ink saturation.

Hill 218 w/ German and Allied Cards

I thought it would be fun to have an allied set of cards and a German set of cards for Hill 218. So I created a PDF of the two sets of cards. The allied cards are basically the original cards (the tank image is new) and the German cards are the allied cards with a new german picture for each type of card. Also the card color highlights have been changed to grey. Just a tweak to the original game. The cards are not perfect --if you want nice cards buy the game!
