About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to take off with Aeroduel, the expansion that injects air power into the Car Wars universe! If you thought souped-up cars were dangerous enough, just wait until you see what happens when we put combat aircraft in the sky. This game brings complete rules for building, moving, and, of course, destroying everything that flies in the 21st century: from airplanes and helicopters to balloons, gliders, and even jet packs. It's your chance to give your battles a new dimension, adding an aerial strategic layer that will leave your opponents with their heads in the clouds (literally!).

With a modular board, each game promises to be unique, ensuring you never quite know what to expect from the aerial battlefield. The flight and combat simulation is detailed enough to please the most demanding fans, but without becoming a burden for those who want fast-paced action. It's the perfect expansion for those who already enjoy Car Wars and want to upgrade their asphalt wars, turning them into true aerial combat. If you like customizing your vehicles and planning combat tactics, Aeroduel will give you exciting new options to annihilate your rivals. It's time to dominate the skies and show who's in charge!
