A map showing the location of the Atlas Mountains across North Africa. The basement rock of most of Africa was formed during the Precambrian supereon and is much older than the Atlas Mountains lying on the continent. The Atlas was formed during three subsequent phases of Earth's geology.
The Campaign for North Africa has been called the longest board game ever produced, with estimates that a full game would take 1,500 hours to complete. [1] [2] Reviewer Luke Winkie pointed out that "If you and your group meets for three hours at a time, twice a month, you’d wrap up the campaign in about 20 years."
The entire campaign takes 80 turns, about 15–25 hours of gameplay. The game includes four shorter scenarios [1] that can be completed in a few hours. [2] The game comes with a 22" x 34" paper map of North Africa from El Agheila to El Alamein, an 8-page rulebook, and a cardstock sheet of 252 counters. [3]
