Sniper Elite: Operation Kraken Takes Players Deep Behind Enemy Naval Lines

In an ambitious operation to end the war, the Axis is launching an experimental super carrier across the Atlantic. Find these plans before it can launch, or infiltrate it to bring down this war machine from within! The Operation Kraken expansion includes two all-new maps: the Norman Village, complete with roads and roaming tanks, and the Frigate, a claustrophobic warship packed with interconnected air vents. Alongside these new locations come a host of new mechanics and abilities for both the sniper and the defenders.

Fresh from a successful Gamefound campaign that raised over £360,000 from 2,680 backers, and marking the return of the series after a three-year absence from shelves, Sniper Elite is back. Designed by the 'Golden Geek' Award-Winning David Thompson (UndauntedWarchest) and Roger Tankersley (Resist!), Sniper Elite: The Board Game translates the stealth action of the critically acclaimed video game franchise into an asymmetrical hidden movement game. Players take on the role of elite sniper Karl Fairburne as he infiltrates enemy territory, or a team of defenders working together to track him down before he can complete his objectives.
