Drones VS Goélands

About this board game

Drones VS Goélands is a fast-paced line control game for 1–2 players, with games taking about 20 minutes. Players compete to control bases by placing cards of varying strength and creating combinations that can shift the balance of power.

On each turn, players place cards on the various bases. When one player overcomes the opponent’s force controlling a base, that player conquers it and activates its specific bonus effect. These bonuses can enable further conquests, creating a chain of linked actions and rewarding carefully timed plays.

The central objective is to control seven bases simultaneously. Doing so produces an immediate victory in the round. If neither player achieves this, the round ends when one player has exhausted their hand, and the player controlling the majority of bases wins.

• Fast-paced line control gameplay
• Cards with varying strengths
• Base conquest with bonus effects
• Combo opportunities that can lead to additional conquests
• A two-round victory condition

Each player must balance the immediate value of taking a base against the possibility of using its bonus to capture another. Controlling all seven bases is the quickest route to victory, but maintaining a majority until the round concludes is another way to score.

Drones VS Goélands is played across winning rounds: as soon as a player has won two rounds, they are declared the overall winner. Released in 2022, it offers a compact contest focused on card strength, changing control, and connected conquest effects.
