Description

In Raise the Shields, the pressure is on to protect your cities from attack. This fast-paced game is all about strategic decision making, as you roll dice to determine your actions. With two shared dice and one personal die, you'll need to assign each die to a different task: working on connecting your shield generator to the power plant, filling in a shape to complete the connection, or launching an attack on a neighboring city. The goal is to be the first to raise all your shields or destroy an enemy city, and with playtime lasting just 10 to 20 minutes, you'll need to think quickly. As a print-and-play game, Raise the Shields is easy to learn and can be played with 1 to 6 players, making it a great option for solo gamers or groups of friends.

Whether you're playing solo, where you'll assign damage to yourself, or competing against others, Raise the Shields is a fun and challenging game that's all about outmaneuvering your opponents and protecting your cities. With its unique blend of dice rolling, paper-and-pencil gameplay, and abstract strategy, Raise the Shields is a game that's sure to keep you coming back for more.
