Aces High

About this game

Aces High is a Tactical level board-wargame for 2-4 players that recreates dogfights in the skies of the First World War between 1916 and 1918! The game represents 25 different historical aircrafts, belonging to the 2 sides: Central Powers and Entente. Each player takes control of a plane and with his own deck of Maneuver Cards controls its movements to try to make his opponents retreat, or rather, shoot them down. Basing on the speed of their aircraft, each player chooses which maneuvers they will carry out in the current turn. The players reveal them simultaneously, then, one at the time, move their planes accordingly. If an opponent comes into your sights, you can shoot him to try to take him down! All the planes in the game have a deck composed in a certain way to match the maneuvering possibilities of each plane. In addition to individual aerial duels, the game also features a "Campaign" mode, where through a series of missions you will gain experience to become Veteran and Ace and therefore be able to add the coveted Acrobatic Maneuvers to your deck of maneuvers! description from publisher
