Description
B-17: Queen of the Skies is a classic strategy game that drops you into the cockpit of a B-17F Flying Fortress bomber during World War II. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be navigating through zones, avoiding enemy fighters, and trying to complete your mission in no time. The game uses a combination of dice rolling, game tables, and charts to determine everything from the appearance of enemy fighters to the damage they inflict on your plane. As a primarily solo game, you'll control your B-17, trying to survive the dangers of war and drop your bombs on target. But if you've got a friend who wants to join in, they can take on the role of the German fighters, adding a new level of excitement to the game. With playtime ranging from 20 to 60 minutes, B-17: Queen of the Skies is the perfect game for anyone looking for a fun and challenging experience that's steeped in history and strategy.
