Description
Take command of your Nation's Army, Navy, and Economy as you attempt to become the most powerful nation in the world. ATTACK! is a new, easy-to-learn, and expandable game system. The basic game contains rules and components that allow players to play a simple, fast-paced game of world conquest. The expansion (sold separately) adds a new map segment (Asia and Pacific), naval pieces, more cards, and advanced rules that allow the players to graduate to a deeper, richer gaming experience. Gameplay: Each player will start with a few regions (one of which is his capital), and a few military units. He will expand his power base by adding regions to his "sphere of influence". This may be done either through diplomacy (they join willingly), or military conquest (they join, period). There are three major sub-games in Attack!: 1) Land Combat: A simple system where each unit has certain advantages based on its historical role. 2) Sea Combat: A simple system where each ship type (Battleship, Carrier, Destroyer, and Sub) has certain advantages based on its historical role. 3) Economic: A simple system determines production. The player starts with one card per region owned, and then gets a new one for each new region added. The cards come in four basic flavors (suites): Resources, Factories, Transport Network, and Oil. Each card has a value printed on it that represents the base economic value of that region. If the player is able to create an entire "set" (one of each suite), he doubles the printed value on those cards. There is also a fifth type of card which has a minimum value of "1" that represents a region without any special economic value (just "population").
