Wooden Ships & Iron Men

Action Queue

You plan a sequence of actions in advance, then they play out in order — think ahead or get left behind.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Hexagon Grid

The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.

Line of Sight

Your units can only interact with what they can directly see on the board — positioning matters a lot.

Simultaneous Action Selection

Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
