About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare your airships to dominate the world in Zeppelin Attack! This deck-building game puts you in the shoes of a villainous mastermind, ready to prove who's in charge. Inspired by the Spirit of the Century universe, you'll assemble a sharp deck with cards of powerful zeppelins, devastating armaments, impenetrable defenses, and loyal operatives. The goal? Destroy your opponent's airships and accumulate points to become the sole overlord of global crime. Each match is a race to optimize your strategy, choosing the best available cards and managing your hand with mastery. Building your deck is key: decide which cards to add to create explosive combos and overcome your rivals. With quick games and an engaging theme, Zeppelin Attack is perfect for those who enjoy a good strategic contest with a touch of aerial adventure. Get ready to take off towards victory – or defeat!

The game requires a good understanding of English, as the cards and rulebook are in this language. For those who don't mind the language barrier or already have a translated version, the experience is quite rewarding. The complexity is moderate, ideal for those with some board game experience, especially deck-building games. The 45-minute playtime allows for multiple sessions in an afternoon. It's a game for 2 to 4 players, ensuring fun in both intense duels and larger confrontations.
