Hollywood actor Neville Sinclair is scheming to steal the rocket’s blueprints. This breakthrough of modern engineering could revolutionize the future of flight. But in Sinclair’s hands, it could fuel the dark future of warfare. Play as the heroes or the villains in this action-packed strategy game for two players. Whether for good or evil, you will determine the fate of the future!

During their turn, players pick one of their characters to take the turn and may play cards from your hand that match that character’s symbol.

Card actions are: Move, Tussle (combat), Gain Grit, Raise Rocket Token (heroes), Recruit a Soldier (villain)

Players alternate characters until all 6 characters (3 on each side) have gone and are exhausted. Then players gain rewards based on control of the locations, an then prepare for a new round.

The end of the game happens when the Luxembourg Zeppelin reaches LA, the final round is played and then the game is over.
