Utilizing the Origins Award-nominated Art of Tactic game system, The Ships: Armada Invencible plunges players into the 16th and 17th Centuries — the golden age of the sailing fleet, the age of filibusters and the Invincible Armada. The Ships offers all of the romance of sea battles: the rumble of guns, the flapping of sails, and the clanging of boarding blades, all on your table-top! At the beginning of each turn, the ship captains must simultaneously and secretly issue orders to their crews: Should they lower or hoist up the sails? Move forward or turn to a new heading? What ammunition should they use to charge the guns on board, and at what range should they allow the enemy to approach before they open fire? Of course, the wise captain must be mindful of the direction of the wind, the depth of the water, the state of his ship… and he must foresee the actions of his opponent!
