Game Night Light 18

Monday was the weekly game night.

First, the beer exchange:

Ah. Want beer.

 And the game:

This is an old game called "Fox One" on air-to-air combat. The F-15C is the most modern aircraft in the game. It goes back to first generation Korean War era planes. Only two cards of each fighter are available. Although it would be pretty easy to photocopy plane cards on card stock. The reverse side isn't important. The same goes for missile cards.

There is at least a ground attack expansion (which I don't have). I've never played it. It requires a 10-sided die, which I had. Pennies or some other marker are needed.

We played one F-16 versus one Mig-29. Each side adds missiles and then draws six action cards. These cards affect you or your opponent, can enhance your attacks, or evade enemy attacks. 

You maneuver forward on the range track with the environment revealed as you move over it. Clear skies are the usual. But there are clouds and cluttered ground that can affect combat. And you can turn around.

It was pretty easy to play. And it can be fought with teams. Although with more people it gets less realistic unless you are a huge fan of Lanchester Square Theory of combat. 

Still, we liked the game and it is a fine candidate for group play.

We could have played another game but instead kept drinking beer and watched Xena: Warrior Princess.
