Pocket Landship is based on the print and play Board Game Geek Award nominated (2017) soloplay card wargame. In this version we see a steampunk theme and expanded gameplay with additional enemy and friendly options. as well as multiplayer options.
Command a Landship (the original British term for tanks) to clear a sector of enemy infantry, artillery, and enemy walkers, landships and alike.
The player chooses a Landship to control with weapons or support units to create either a single high powered Landship or a more disparate defending force, including potentially smaller Landships or squads of shock troops.
The enemy appears as waves of enemy landships, walkers, artillery, infantry, and mine fields arranged in 2 rows of 3 cards.
Each turn, the player will roll 3 6-sided dice and assign each die to each of their cards to attack the enemies. Then, for the enemy turn, roll the 3 dice and assign them low to high left to right across the front enemy line, then take the assigned actions.
Each card has its own damage track. When a card is destroyed, it is removed from the game. Win by destroying all 6 enemy cards. Lose if the enemy destroys your landship.
