Flight of Icarus

"Flight of Icarus" invites you to defy the limits and embrace the thrill of ancient mythology in a quest for freedom. In this dynamic strategy game for 2-4 players, you embody Icarus, crafting wings and daring to fly from the island of Crete to the Greek mainland. Your journey is fraught with danger: soar too close to the sun and your wax will melt; fly too low and the sea's moisture will weigh you down.

The game unfolds in two intense phases. Initially, you will gather resources—wax and feathers—using a strategic action point system. This crafting stage is crucial as you prepare for flight, with the opportunity to play innovative cards that could enhance your wings or provide tactical advantages. Once airborne, the game shifts to a high-stakes tactical phase where players battle the elements and each other. Engage in bidding for the oracle’s favor to influence the weather and secure advantageous positions in the sky.

"Flight of Icarus" features a blend of strategic resource management and competitive "take-that" mechanics, ensuring that each game is both engaging and unique. The game is fully language independent, keeping all players involved and competitive, even if the flight falters. With no player elimination, every participant can influence the outcome until the very end.
