About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an intense and strategic battle in 'One Page War', a compact wargame that literally fits in the palm of your hand! Instead of massive armies and giant maps, here you command your forces across five battlefronts: land, sea, air, politics, and espionage. The goal? To create the strongest numerical combinations to dominate each arena. Each victory in an arena not only brings you closer to the final win but also unlocks special powers with limited uses. Be careful: these powers deplete as they're used, so whoever claims them first secures the advantage! The brilliant twist here is that both players use the same dice rolls, eliminating luck and focusing purely on your planning ability. Will you spread your forces thin to cover more ground, or concentrate everything to secure those special powers right away? 'One Page War' is a Print & Play game that comes in a single PDF, with rules and board on the same sheet – you can even print it double-sided and start playing! If you prefer digital, there's even a PNG file to play online. And the best part? It supports 1 to 10 players, including a challenging solo mode. Perfect for those who enjoy tactical wargames and don't have much time (or space!).

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
How many players can participate?
The game is for 1 to 10 players. It works well with two, but the version with more people can be quite chaotic and fun!
How long does a game take?
Games are super fast, usually between 15 and 30 minutes. You can play several in an afternoon!
Do I need to print the game?
Yes, the game is in Print & Play format. You can print the PDF on a single sheet (front and back) or use the PNG file to play online on a screen.
Is it a complex game?
The weight is considered medium (2/5 on BGG). The rules fit on one page, but the strategy requires good tactical thinking and planning.
What is the game's theme?
The theme is World War II, focusing on five battlefronts: land, sea, air, politics, and espionage.
Is there luck in the game?
Almost none! Both players use the same dice results, so the focus is entirely on strategy and the decisions you make.
Is it good for someone new to wargames?
It can be a great introduction! Because it's fast and has simple rules to apply (though the strategy is deep), it's more accessible than many traditional wargames.
