PLAYED FOR YOU

Iron Sky

The Board Game

Based on the film of the same name and set in an Alternate Reality, an Invasion is started by the Fourth Empire in order to conquer territories and countered by the United World Confederacy who must fend off the invaders. Each player is part of a faction and is responsible for one continent, but he can interact and plan with other players in the same faction. All players of a faction implement their moves at the same time; you can hand over money and units to other players in your faction and can use resources and armies in the same round. All players of a factions play simultaneously, as active faction, the phases Resources, Command and End of Turn, all finish one phase before the next is begun. Resources are provided by territories you control. Actions are implemented using Command Cards – you can, in any order, play command cards, use orders for Regroup or Request Help and share resources with others, while you have resources left. Combat resulting from Actions is resolved with Combat Cards. When the End of Game Marker is drawn the game ends, usually after eight complete rounds; with the Game End options it can take between seven and ten rounds. At the end all members of a faction together win with points from controlled territories damage and secret Commander Operations. There are three levels of difficulty and you play with with two, four or the optimum of six players.

A dense, gloomy simulation which does not concentrate on characters like the film but on the conflict; basic mechanisms are known from other simulation, the intense cooperation of players of the same faction is an interesting element.
