The Campaign for North Africa is a boardgame based on the WWII North Africa Campaign. The game takes a ludicrously long amount of time to play and has a ludicrously long set of rules. The game takes so long to play that the creators didn't give it a proper play testing. While the game itself is a bit of a joke, it does have it's un-ironic masochistic fans. For the table top gaming at large, it's more of a novelty than anything else. And of course this article wouldn't be complete without mentioning the beloved "macaroni rule", in which Italians lose more water every turn because they need to boil their pasta (which Berg noted isn't even historically accurate because historically the italian soldiers used their pasta sauce to boil their pasta).
