About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready, folks! Things get intense here: 6: Siege - The Board Game brings the adrenaline of the Rainbow Six: Siege video game to your tabletop. It's an asymmetrical showdown for 2 to 4 secret agents, where one team attacks and the other defends, all with awesome miniatures.

The gameplay is fast and frenetic, with a real-time simulation that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Each player commands 5 super-stylish operators, each with their unique gadgets and abilities. As the attacker, the mission is to use explosives to blast through obstacles and achieve the objective. On defense, the goal is to set up the perfect trap, shape the battlefield, and thwart the invasion at all costs. Building your team is one of the highlights, packed with strategy and game-changing choices.

To win, you must complete the mission or eliminate the rival team. The game uses a square grid board, grid movement, and requires line of sight for that tactical touch. There's dice rolling for that thrill, but planning and adaptability are key. Prepare for varied scenarios and setups that change each game, ensuring no two raids are the same. It's pure tension and tactics, just the way we like it!
