If I decide to stack cards in a given theater, the new card is placed overlapping the old card. I decide to take the fighter plane and turn it facedown to put at least some combat strength in the Sea theater to try and oppose the other player. My hand only has a howitzer and a fighter plane squadron called “Support”. For example, I need to counter the other player’s Battleship which is dominating the Sea theater. This is the side you play if you need to reinforce a theater with a card that normally couldn’t be played there face up. On the other side of the Battle Card is just a number which represents a generic, non-theater specific combat strength. Some abilities happen once when the card is played while others are on-going until stopped by another card. A Battle Card can also be played face down in any theater but you don’t get the benefits and full combat ability of the face up side.Įach Battle Card shows a color for the theater, a large number showing its combat strength and its specific tactical ability. There are cards that can only be played face up in their specific regions so, for example, a bomber can be played in the air theater, a tank in the ground theater and a submarine in the sea theater. There is an air theater, a land theater and a sea theater. The game board is created by laying down the theater cards in any order. The Red Commander is the aggressor (assume the Axis) and always goes first. While neither side is delineated as Axis or Allies, you blindly pick a supreme commander card and are either the Red or Blue Commander. The box art is both beautiful and evocative of World War II propaganda artwork. Beginners will find it fun and approachable while “seasoned war gamers”, such as your humble reviewer, will find it a fun, fast paced game to play in 20 or 30 minutes.Īir, Land and Sea comes in a box measuring roughly 6 “ x 4.25 “ (15.24 cm x 10.795 cm). The colorful cards and easy to learn but challenging to play game play makes this game wonderful for a wide audience.
