About the game
Armour Supremacy is a card game of strategy, skill and luck that is based loosely on the Second World War, a 1979 game by BattleLine Publications. Each player tries to build tanks, which will out-fight the tanks of their opponents. Each player must build mark 1 tank before completing a mark 2 tank and finally a mark 3 tank. Cards include 3 types each of Hulls and Turrets; 8 types of guns, Dual Purpose cards which reduce damage from anti-tank guns; 2 types of armor, Anti-tank carriages, Sponsons that let 2 guns be mounted on one tank hull; and modification cards that let you improve one of your older tanks as you get better parts. Similar in game mechanics to Rummy in many ways.

Questions and answers
Armor Supremacy supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Armor Supremacy is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Armor Supremacy for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Armor Supremacy has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
