Check Your 6! Jet Age

About this board game

Check Your 6! Jet Age is a modern air combat board game for 2–20 players, with an approximately 120-minute play time. It is the core rule book for the CY6! modern air combat system, covering post-WWII conflicts across a number of different theaters.

Designed to closely reflect the details of jet-age combat while maintaining maximum playability, the game builds on the award-winning Check Your 6! Classic WWII system. Its development took more than three years of research into air-to-air weapons, combat maneuvers, aircraft statistics, and the influence of pilot skill on combat.

Combat is represented in three dimensions, while extensive statistical analysis informed the design of the game. Former and current United States Air Force and United States Marine Corps pilots were involved from the beginning, helping shape the rules and mechanics.

• Rules for CY6! modern air combat

Check Your 6! Jet Age combines detailed subject matter with a playability-focused design. Its scenarios, aircraft data, and combat rules provide a foundation for exploring jet-era air battles through a system informed by both statistical study and military pilot expertise.
