In Air, Land, & Sea, you step into the shoes of a Supreme Commander, leading your military forces through a series of intense tactical confrontations. The battlefield is divided into three theaters of war: Air, Land, and Sea, and your objective is to dominate two of them or compel your opponent to withdraw. Each battle kicks off with six cards in hand, and here's the kicker: you won't draw any more cards, so every single play is incredibly impactful!

Players take turns playing one card at a time. The order in which you play is critical, as is how you play them. Cards played face up activate their tactical abilities but must be assigned to their corresponding theater (an air card to the Air theater, for instance). Face-down cards offer more flexibility: they can be played to any theater, but they have a fixed strength of 2 and don't activate any abilities.

Sometimes, fighting to the bitter end isn't the best strategy. A tactical withdrawal might be the key to denying your opponent a complete victory, losing the battle to, perhaps, win the war! Victory points are awarded at the end of each skirmish, and the first player to reach 12 points is crowned the supreme victor. Oh, and if you prefer a lighter theme, the 'Critters at War' version offers the same gameplay but with adorable critters and vibrant colors!
