About the game
What you do in a play session
In BioShock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia, you jump into the fight for the floating city of Columbia, choosing your side: the Founders or the Vox Populi. The goal is straightforward: dominate as much territory as possible and complete crucial objectives to secure victory by accumulating 10 points. But don't think it's just about advancing and conquering! You'll need to use your influence to turn events in your favor, and of course, deal with the dynamic duo Booker and Elizabeth, who are causing quite a stir around. Prepare for intense combat, stealing objectives from opponents, eliminating enemy leaders, destroying strongholds, and even bidding on events to gain control. The game is perfect for two players in a fierce duel or for four in teams, where cooperation is key. With incredible miniatures, versatile cards, and dice that decide your fate, tension is guaranteed. The theme inspired by the acclaimed video game brings Columbia's unique atmosphere to your table, featuring mechanics that blend area control, tactical movement, hand management, and a touch of bluffing. It's an experience that demands attention to detail and good planning to emerge victorious in this epic conflict.
