Barrage

And so begins the Water War ...

Year 1922. The cannons of the Great War remain silent for four years, the world is recovering, rising from its ashes at the speed of new hydroelectric technology, a legacy of the great Nikola Tesla. A new war, which will be fought in the valleys of the Alps, is about to begin: Will you be able to defeat your opponents and build the largest hydroelectric empire the world has ever seen?

Barrage is an epic worker placement strategy game. Up to four players will compete for five rounds, planning their actions to build hydroelectric infrastructure on an articulated and challenging map. You must place your structures wisely, preventing your opponents from stealing the most precious resource: water. If you control the water, you will be able to produce energy and complete profitable contracts. Plan each movement carefully, and prepare to make bold strategic decisions: This is Barrage!
