Description

Sink the Carrier drops you into the intense world of World War II aviation, where you and up to three friends take on the roles of Douglas SBD Dauntless pilots on the USS Yorktown carrier in May 1942. Your mission is to track down and sink a Japanese air carrier, and you'll need to work together to succeed. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be diving into the action in no time, navigating the challenges of flight and combat in a game that's all about strategy and skill. As you play, you'll need to manage your time and fuel carefully, making tactical decisions about when to move, attack, or search for the enemy carrier. The game's innovative poker-hand-based dice rolling system adds an extra layer of excitement, as you weigh the risks and rewards of each action. With trophies to earn and piloting skills to improve, you'll be fully invested in the game's outcome. And when you finally launch your final dive bomb attack, the stakes will be high - succeed, and you'll be heroes, but fail, and you'll be heading back to the carrier to regroup. With its unique blend of cooperative gameplay, dice rolling, and strategic action selection, Sink the Carrier is a thrilling experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat for the full 60-minute playtime.
