Purple Haze – Vietnam War Campaign Board Game

The Purple Haze board game is an immersive Vietnam War board game and tactical campaign wargame by PHALANX, designed by Bernard Grzybowski, that transports 1–4 players to Vietnam in 1967. Combining tactical combat, campaign gameplay, and storytelling, it creates an intense narrative experience where your decisions shape the story and tactical choices determine who will make it back alive.

In Purple Haze, you take command of a team of U.S. Marines and operate within dense jungles, flooded rice paddies, and isolated villages. Each mission brings new challenges, dangerous battles, and tough decisions. Your team members are not just units on the map: those who survive gain experience, become tougher, and continue with you in the campaign.

As a Vietnam War board game, Purple Haze places special emphasis on the consequences of choices, team development, and survival through a connected series of missions. The mechanisms of tactical warfare combine with narrative choices, events, dice rolling, area movement, and role-playing elements, creating a unique blend of historical wargame and story-driven campaign game.

The Purple Haze wargame also supports solo gameplay, offering a complete experience for players who prefer solo wargames. The progression of the story depends on your actions, while each encounter can have consequences that will follow you into subsequent missions.

For fans of historical board games, tactical wargames, campaign games, and games themed around the Vietnam War, the Purple Haze board game combines strategy, narrative, and tactical combat in a dark military campaign.

The goal is clear: complete the mission and come out alive. In the jungle of Purple Haze, however, nothing always goes according to plan.
