Mixed old German board games resources...To start, an interesting Italian collectors' site that lists a number of "unknown" 30's board games which look rather pretty: http://www.giochidelloca.it/ricerca.php?init=1 My favorites are: Die Autofahrt

Sadly, the English version of this site is not as detailed as the German one. Perhaps Carl could help? |

Carl: That's not a bad idea at all.
How about a modified version of Autofahrt: 'Panzerfahrt' with slightly modified rules?
The board could look similar, but add explosions, dying soldiers, and Panzer-division Standarte & medals, etc.

Very nice!
I suppose war/conflict-related games would fit best, Autofahrt might be too "peaceful" for the setting.
"Der Kampf in den Lueften" and "Reise durch Deutschland" both look fine to me, though the latter could perhaps be adapted into a more militaristic game (e.g. the goal is to prepare Germany for war or whatever). :D
Autofahrt has the most amusing name (yes, childish I know!), but it is perhaps a bit too generic to act as a jokey prop?
Or do the production leaders want a selection of non-war-related board games too?
"Reise durch Deutschland" is the prettiest of these, it reminds me a bit of the classic Finnish board game Afrikan Tähti.
