Description

Wings for the Baron is a game where you get to design and manufacture World War I aeroplanes, which is a pretty cool concept. The rules are easy to learn, so you can jump right in and start playing with your friends - up to 4 of you can play together. Each turn, you secretly choose two actions to perform, like building factories, spying on other players, or designing new aeroplanes. The game is quick, lasting about 30 minutes, and there's very little downtime because the actions are resolved simultaneously. You'll earn points based on how well you design your aeroplanes and build up your industry, and then a random War Status card is drawn to shake things up. The goal is to time your actions just right and use them efficiently to come out on top when the war ends.
