Designed for 2-4 players. Set-up time takes less than 10 minutes with a player reaching victory in 1-2 hours. Each player commands their own impressive armada that includes: Battleships, destroyers, bombers, and fighters.

You’ll begin by positioning your fleet strategically across an expansive star map before waging war for limited resources across each star lane. Set-up time takes less than 10 minutes with a player reaching victory in 1-2 hours.

To help you manage your forces, you’ll receive your own fleet card where you can track your ships, their armor, and their payloads. Start things off by framing your strategy around the player action cards you’ve been dealt and the natural advantages the star lanes provide. From there, choose from a variety of game-play tactics that fit your own command style. Sit back and search for valuable scrap, dig in behind flack barriers, or charge forward with your capital ship as you send nukes hurdling towards your enemies. Become a master of these elements, adapt, and survive, for only one can reach ultimate glory!

MetalSkies comes with four complete fleets of WWII-meets-Battlestar Galactica-themed miniatures, action and event cards, fleet management cards, gameplay tokens, multiple star charts, and finally, instructions that you can read in less than 20 minutes.
