About this game
Subtitled "How to Act during an Air Raid", this game was published by the Shemen consumer goods company in Haifa in what is now Israel but was then controlled by Great Britain. Haifa and other cities were bombed multiple times during 1940-41 by Axis planes based on the island of Rhodes.While most of the bombing was done by Italian planes, the game focuses on German aggressors including twin-engine and Stuka dive bombers emblazoned with the Nazi swastika.

Rules
Like air raid games published in other countries during World War II, this roll-and-move game illustrates both good and bad practices for avoiding casualties from enemy bombers. Good behaviour illustrated includes preparations such as taping windows, sandbagging entrances and keeping essential tools and supplies handy ahead of time, obeying orders to head to shelters when warning sirens sound, and coping with the damage both during and after the raid. First player to reach the all-clear space (45) wins.
