Check Your 6! is a board game released in 2007 for 2–12 players, 120 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Scott Fisher and its main mechanics are Simultaneous Action Selection and Simulation.
Check your 6! is an air combat simulation of the 1925-1947 era and can be played with any aircraft from this era, including the early jets. Movement is planned ahead and simultaneous. This makes the game very suitable to play with many players. It uses a maneuver template similar in form to Blue Max / Canvas Eagles. CY6 requires airplane models which can be of any scale - 1/72, 1/144, 1/300 or 1/600 - and a hexagonal mapboard. Or it can be played with cardboard counters on a hexboard. Individual pilot skills matters in this game. As Chuck Yeager said: "It's the man, not the machine!".
Check Your 6! supports 2–12 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 Check Your 6! is 120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Check Your 6! for ages 12 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.
