Description
Purple Haze is an immersive story-creation game for 1 to 4 players, but it’s also much, much more: a tactical combat game, a campaign game, and a role-playing game, all combined to give you a unique and immersive board game experience. How does it work?
Story-creation refers to the decisions you will make whenever you encounter what we call Story Events. These form the core storyline or narrative text of each of the eight linked missions that will coalesce into the full campaign. Your choice and the consequences of your actions will create the next branch of the story, and in some situations may impact later parts of the campaign. The missions will have primary and secondary objectives and will reflect what Marines typically had to deal with in the Vietnam War, including patrols, ambushes, convoying, and even some larger operations.
Marines in your squad – each unique, with their own background story and character attributes – can develop capabilities and specializations between missions by gaining experience during the game. At different points during the mission, Marines will be called upon to perform various tasks, with the direction of the story determined by how well they perform them. But most importantly: all the Marines will take part in combat, using a variety of weapons, equipment, and skills to achieve victory – or, in some more desperate encounters – simply survive.
