Total Domination

About this board game

Total Domination is a strategic, card-driven area-control game for 1–4 players, designed to play in about 120 minutes. It recreates the global demands of World War II, where national survival depends on mobilizing resources across diplomacy, industry, and warfare.

Players must balance competing priorities as they pursue victory in a conflict fought on land, at sea, and in the air. Harness industries to develop new weapons, seek support from neutral nations, and plan military operations capable of sweeping across continents and oceans.

The game also emphasizes the less visible struggles of total war. Players can form and fund partisan armies to resist hostile occupation, while attempting to break enigmatic enemy codes and gain strategic advantages. Alliances, research, resistance, and military action all contribute to the wider war effort.

• Card-driven strategy: Use cards to shape your plans and manage the demands of a global conflict.
• Area control: Contest territories across a war spanning continents and oceans.
• Industrial development: Harness production to create technologies and weapons superior to those of the enemy.
• Diplomacy and resistance: Win neutral support and organize partisan forces against occupation.
• Military operations: Coordinate campaigns across land, sea, and air.

Total Domination supports two-player play, while three- and four-player games are played in two teams. Every decision contributes to the broader struggle: invest in industry, cultivate alliances, decipher codes, support resistance movements, or prepare the next offensive.

With its focus on strategic balance and the sweeping scale of a world war, Total Domination challenges players to use every available resource and make this their finest hour.
