About the game
What you do in a play session
Target for Today is a solitaire game where you command an American bomber during WWII. Inspired by the classic B-17 Queen of the Skies, it meticulously simulates daylight bombing missions over Nazi-occupied Europe. Pilot iconic planes like the B-17 Flying Fortress or B-24 Liberator, face enemy fighters, and try to survive your 'tour of duty'. Each mission is quick, but the campaign offers deep immersion, with decisions echoing those of real veterans. Get ready to roll dice, manage your crew, and pray you make it back alive!
