About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game fans! Ready for another round of pure strategy and bluffing with Air, Land, & Sea: Spies, Lies, & Supplies? If you enjoyed the original game, this expansion (which also works as a standalone!) brings more options to spice up the combat even further. It introduces three new 'theaters' of war – Intelligence, Diplomacy, and Economy – which you can use in various ways. Want something more straightforward? Play with just these three new scenarios, each with its own quirks and challenges. If you're the type who likes to mix things up, combine these new theaters with those from the base game, creating combinations of up to three scenarios. Craving the ultimate challenge? Set up an epic match with FIVE combined theaters, mixing everything you have available. The core mechanics remain what we love: sharp hand management, where every card is a crucial decision, and conflict resolution that tests your ability to read your opponent. The goal is to dominate the theaters of war, securing majority control in each to score points. But beware, because bluffing and anticipating your opponent's moves are just as important as the cards in your hand. It's a fast-paced, intense game that makes you think about every play. Perfect for those seeking a tactical and engaging two-player experience without unnecessary downtime. Get ready for fierce competition and plenty of twists!
