About the game

What you do in a play session

In 1942 USS Yorktown, you and your friends become American pilots on a critical mission during the Battle of the Coral Sea. The game recreates the first naval battle where ships never saw each other — the entire fight happened in the skies, with fighter squadrons trying to locate and destroy the Japanese carrier Shōhō. Here, elaborate strategies give way to frantic real-time action. You'll roll dice to maneuver, attack and defend, all while the clock ticks mercilessly. Cooperation is essential — without teamwork, the mission is doomed. Get ready to shout coordinates, call for help and hope luck is on your side in this intense historical air combat simulation.
