Encyclopedia > Attack!

Attack! is a board game published by Eagle Games and created by Glenn Drove released in 2003. Like the popular board game Risk, it allows for players to create their own military states off of a board showing a map of the Earth divided into territories and attack other players in an attempt to conquer the world, although the victory conditions for Attack! are a bit different from world domination. In the expansion to the board game, victory points are added. Whichever player has the most victory points by the end of the game wins. Victory points are tallied differently depending on what government type one has. The game is supposed to be set in the pre-World War II era. Players start with 1 Battleship,2 Destroyers, and 2 subs. They also start with 12 Infantry,6 tanks,4 artillery, and 2 planes. Each player chooses 4 territories of their liking, and sets their capitol on 1 of the four territories. You choose actions in this order: Move, Blitzkrieg move, attack, diplomacy, and finily spend on units. Each player does his turn in a circle,the person with the highest die roll going first.
