About this game
As in Britain during the Blitz, this game was intended to teach German children how to protect themselves from bombing raids. The cover illustration is grim. Two weary nurses carrying a stretcher into the shelter. A scared mother with her infant in arms follows them down the stairs. A civil defense worker in a gas mask sprays water on a hot spot. The aggressive and optimistic tone of early war German games is gone.
Mechanism
Roll and Move
Rules
Standard roll and move. Good and bad civil defense practices are reflected in bonus and penalty spaces. For instance, those who read The Siren magazine (space 11) have the latest information on air protection and move ahead. Leaving clutter, failing to help out or forgetting to keep pails of water handy penalize players. First player to reach space 70 wins, but must immediately shout “Air Raid Protection is Necessary!” or be sent back to space 60.
