TASK FORCES AT WAR™ is a
64-card, diceless, two-player introductory card game designed to be both easy to learn and quick to play. It is an
excellent game for a parent to use to introduce children to the fascinating
hobby of war games or to use to expose
a non-gamer friend to the joys of historical gaming. The game is
based on World War Two
(1939 – 1945) naval combat, when fleets combined
battleship firepower with bombing strikes from aircraft carriers. It looks
great; with full-color pictures of American, British, French, German, Italian
and Japanese capital ships of the Second World War. The game allows players to
deploy "task forces' of warships from their hands. Comparisons of the ships
deployed in the opposing task forces determine if the task forces will engage
in a carrier battle, a surface battle or an air-surface battle. One player
commands the Axis fleet, one player commands the Allied fleet and the side that
scores the most victory points by "sinking" enemy vessels wins a hand. Win two
hands and you win the game! Every playing is different and playing time for a
complete game is thirty minutes to one hour. Components include an Allied Ship
Deck, an Axis Ship Deck, and the rules.
