About this board game
Trench Club is a complex World War I strategy game for 1–4 players, with games lasting around 240 minutes. Players take on the role of generals during a struggle between France and Britain and Germany and Austria-Hungary for control of a decisive front section.
Send your troops into battle with a range of possible approaches. Artillery fire can barrage enemy units, while tanks and infantry launch attacks. Careful positioning may also allow you to surround opposing forces and annihilate them.
Combat in Trench Club is shaped by more than attack strength and armor. The tactical setup of your forces, their combat experience, the damage they have sustained, and the terrain all have a decisive influence on the outcome of a battle.
- Set your strategy during an exciting World War I conflict.
- Combine units with different strengths when assembling your army.
- Use artillery, tanks, and infantry to challenge enemy positions.
- Account for tactics, experience, damage, armor, and terrain in combat.
Because each unit brings its own strengths, building the right army is central to victory. You must cleverly assemble your forces and adapt your battle plan to the conditions of the front.
Although the combat system is complex, the rules are designed to be easy to learn. Detailed miniatures add a visual presence to this strategic confrontation, giving Trench Club a distinctive tabletop battlefield experience.
