About the game
The Artillery is a new type of unmovable ground unit that has a massive firepower and a strong armour. During the setup phase, agree on the number of units of each type that each player will control. Set up the board, units, and cards as usual, including the Artillery Units. Artillery have 6 endurance points, so when setting up the cards, place a disc on the number ‘6’ of every Artillery card. They also have a strong armour (indicated by the shield icon). The Artillery has some special rules. Components: - 3 terrain tiles of 1×5 squares each - 20 square Destroyed Floor cards - 6 Artillery Units in 2 colours (unassembled) - 6 Artillery targeting tokens in 2 colours - 6 Artillery cards in 2 colours - 6 black discs

The listed playing time for Arcade: Reinforcements – The Artillery is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Arcade: Reinforcements – The Artillery for ages 8 and up.
