Read the full game description
Trench Club is a tactical First World War game in which France and Britain face Germany and Austria-Hungary across a hex-gridded battlefield. Each general commands tanks, infantry, and artillery, maneuvering to capture forts and break the opposing force. Dice resolve combat, but positioning, terrain, armor, unit experience, and accumulated damage all shape the odds. Two players may fight competitively or cooperate, while three and four players divide into opposing teams.
