About the game
Dominate & Delegate is a 2 player legacy campaign game and a skirmisher for up to 4 players, inspired by video games like Command & Conquer. In the legacy campaign, each player choose a side and receive their own information needed for the current mission. Both players have secrets which are unknown to the opponent. Thanks to a deep and immersive story, both players advance their teams, fighting battles and try to see the best possible outcome for their faction at the end of the campaign... and there are lots of mission tree branches and possible endings available, depending on the decisions of both players. In the Skirmish Mode, you can play up to 4 players, you can fight All vs All or even Team vs Team. Thanks to different scenarios, you have lots of options for maps, conditions and possible complexity and game length. The game is heavily based on Strategy, Area Control and keeping secrets hidden. You are moving your units, building up the base and try to conquer the world. Thanks to a secret fog of war, your enemy don't know what you manufacture in the factories, also the amount of production is a secret until the units are deployed. Dominate & Delegate offers a unique campaign with dramatic twists and plots. —description from the designer
