'''''World in Flames''''' is a grand strategy game on the [[World War II|Second World War]] which was first released in [[1985]] by the [[Australian Design Group]], and currently holds the title of the world's largest commercially available board game. It was designed by Harry Rowland and is currently in its eighth edition, ''World in Flames - Collector's Edition''. Each new edition features changes to the rules, maps and counters.

The game is a strategic-level recreation of both the [[European Theatre of World War II|European]] and [[Pacific War|Pacific]] theatres of [[World War II]]. The grand campaign begins with the German [[invasion of Poland]], although several other scenarios are included. The game contains rules determining when the [[Soviet Union]], [[United States]], and [[Fascist Italy|Italy]] may choose to enter the conflict.
