Since 1979, Air War '80 has captivated fans of dice rolling with its heavy complexity design.
How It Plays
Dice Rolling
You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!
Grid Movement
Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
