The Seeds of Disaster is a game about how events of the 1930s affected World War II, most especially the German invasion of the West in 1940.
This game connects a war campaign with the military preparations, intelligence developments, and diplomacy that preceded it. It is an attempt to represent a piece of history as interconnected with other historical developments. This is a two-player game in which one player takes the Germans and the other the Western Allies, including France, Great Britain, Belgium, and Holland. Victory is determined by control of Mobilization Center and Objective Areas at the end of the last turn of play.
