C.O.A.L.: Combat-Oriented Armored League

In a world where computers have never been invented and coal is the most precious resource, a group of brave pilots board their armored steambots, take their place in the pilot seats of these 30-feet-tall, steam-powered fighting machines, and drive them into fierce arena battles. This is C.O.A.L.: Combat-Oriented Armored League, a two- to four-player card game with a steampunk setting. C.O.A.L. uses an original game mechanism that combines resource management, bluffing, and memory to simulate the heat of a real battle. The game includes four steambot models – each with its own features, attacks, and defensive maneuvers – and eight different pilots, which have special piloting abilities of their own. C.O.A.L.: Combat-Oriented Armored League includes customized rules for two-player games, for battles with three or four players, and for two-vs-two partnership games. Deck-building rules are included for advanced players who want to combine parts to build different steambot models. Duels are quick, typically ending in about ten minutes. Main features of C.O.A.L. are: - 4 complete battle Steambots models, each with its own features, attacks and defensive maneuvers. - 8 different pilots with their own special piloting abilities. - Combine pilots and Steambots to obtain different game styles. - Rules for 2 players duels and specific rules for 3/4 players battles. - Rules for 2 versus 2 games. - Deck-building rules for advanced players which allow to build different models of Steambots. - Quick gameplay: a duel is usually over in about 10 minutes. - Original artwork by professional illustrator Alan D'Amico.
