History Heroes: WORLD WAR 2 card game

The aim of the game is to try and win the cards by guessing who the characters are from the facts read out from the cards. Players can play the games as a gentle voyage of discovery or a competitive game by choosing easy, hard or quirky facts from each card. Win the cards by guessing correctly who the character is from the facts read out on their cards. The winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game, just the same as card games like Top Trumps.

Or, if you fancy, you can start by reading, enjoying and absorbing the facts in the History Heroes games – it doesn’t have to be a battle of wits from the get-go! Ideal for 2-6 players.

History Heroes’ WORLD WAR 2 educational card games contain individual cards of forty of the most significant characters in World War Two. Each card is fantastically illustrated to represent the relevant character and shows their dates, their flag of birthplace and seven memorable and often moving facts about them.

Our World War Two characters are ‘heroes’ AND ‘anti-heroes’ unsurprisingly. They range from the key political and military figures, such as Chamberlain, Churchill, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Emperor Hirohito, Field Marshal Montgomery, Rommel and many others who shaped and influenced World War Two.

Great innovators, such as Barnes Wallis, institutions and courageous people, such as Oskar Schindler, the Evacuees, The Women’s Land Army, Raoul Wallenberg and Kindertransport all appear on cards in the game. The sweep of characters in the game is stark, moving and often inspiring.
