Description

Night Witches is a cooperative game for one to two players that drops you into the cockpit of a rickety plane flown by the fearless female pilots of the Soviet 588th Night Bomber Regiment during World War II. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be flying harassment missions on the Eastern Front in no time, working together to earn victory points and get promoted to the prestigious 46th Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment. Each mission takes around 30 to 45 minutes to complete, and you can play them as part of a ten-mission campaign or on their own, making it easy to fit in a game whenever you want. As you fly through the dark of night, you'll need to navigate through unknown territory, avoiding spotlights, clouds, and enemy attacks, all while trying to complete your objectives and bomb your targets. You'll manage your time, fuel supply, and stress levels between sorties, and as you gain experience, you'll be able to upgrade your planes with new cards. With its unique blend of cooperative gameplay, deck building, and hexagon grid mechanics, Night Witches is a thrilling and immersive game that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you try to outmaneuver the enemy and make aviation history. Will you be able to lead the Night Witches to victory and earn your place in the annals of history?
