Flight of Icarus

FLIGHT OF ICARUS - Soar high upon your wings, like an eagle, as you seek to escape the clutches of king Minos. He is holding you captive in his palace and your bold plan to escape is to fashion wings from wax and feathers, then fly across the Aegean Sea. But beware, fly too high and the sun will melt the wax that holds your wings together... fly too low and the moisture from the sea will make the feathers too heavy to keep you aloft. Flight of Icarus is a fast-paced strategy game for 2-4 players in which you live out the classic Icarus myth. Build your wings, then brave the elements as you attempt to fly from Crete to the Greek mainland. During the first phase of the game you will collect wax and feathers for your wings, while playing innovations to aid you during your flight. Then, you will take to the air, struggling against both the weather and your fellow fliers. An engaging mixture of strategic resource management, clever bidding, and take-that mechanics, Flight of Icarus is fully language independent during play. Even if you fail in your flight, there is no player elimination in the game, so you can still attempt to stop your competition from reaching the other shore. .
