Bombers High
A downloadable game
Enemy fighters closing in! Can you survive another wave and get bombs on the target? Or will this be your last stand?
Bombers High is a solitaire print & play game designed to printed on a single sheet of business cards. The goal of the game is to see how many missions your bomber can survive. Going into the game, you have three bombers to choose from: the legendary B-17, the rugged B-24, and the workhorse B-25. The gameplay is simple but punishing, and your bomber will be hard pressed to survive more than a single mission. Or, maybe you'll defy the odds and make it through the all of your assigned missions!

Man, this game is tough. Love the print-and-play business card idea—super slick and easy to carry. The positioning mechanic with the hexagon zones and pushing your luck to refly targets makes for cool tactical choices.
That said, the rules are a bit muddy on how attack vectors actually map to incoming enemy draws, and flak needs a clearer definition of what counts as a hit.
As for gameplay? Brutal. With the B-17, you're lucky to survive even a single mission. Between getting chewed up by the fighter waves and taking flak over the target, you'll usually get shot down on your very first run—maybe scraping into a second mission if the dice gods smile on you, but don't count on it.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Those rules will be clarified in the next revision. I hope you had fun, even with the super lethal gameplay! I think my current record is making it to a third mission, possibly with the B-25 (the dice gods loved me that run).
