El Alamein (a stand alone expansion to Barbarossa) is a Historical deck building card game in which the German military fights the British for control of Africa!

Using an in-game deck-building mechanism one buys cards from an open card pool to build a strong strategic deck. The ultimate objective is to conquer the city of Alexandria. If Alexandria falls the player with the most victory points wins. Victory points are acquired by conquering different cities and strategic positions throughout the game.

Although it's technically possible to use the cards in both sets together, El-Alamein is first and foremost a game on its own, and is better described as a “compatible sequel” than a standalone expansion.
