The cloud over Europe after World War II has just settled into a deceiving peace when in the background two new powers set up their army for one final strike. The world is a powder keg ready to burst...and it would only take one little spark to blow it up- NATIONS is telling the story
New era of games – powered board games
So called powered board games combine the best of two game-worlds: the fun of classic board games and the power of smart devices (f.e. tablets, smartphones,computers and so on). This combination makes a brand new, breathtaking game experience possible. You can develope complex economic or production mechanics which are easily handled by your smart device. This also gives you the possibility to secretly engage in diplomacy or espionage between you and other players. There are unlimited possibilities - all you need is the elements of a board game and one smart device!
In NATIONS every player chooses a leading nation of one of the three fractions (capitalism, communism and neutrals). The goal is to find the right mix between military power, diplomacy, science and espionage to conquer the whole world. Some of the game elements like the map, soldiers, dices are printed. Others like military supplies, science, diplomacy and espionage are controlled from your tablet. We created a special combination with real dices, virtual battlefields and special weapons on the tablet for a completely new battling system. To build up power you have to occupy countries. Depending on the external borders the player gets production points (=the money in the game) for each country he's taking over. After a turn the active player passes the tablet on to the next player so it is possible to play the game with only one device!
