Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing is a board game released in 2014 for 2–99 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Andrew Parks and Manny O'Donnell and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Line of Sight.
Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing uses the core rule set of the FlightPath game system seen previously in Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Trek: Attack Wing, but with a Dungeons & Dragons twist as the players now control dogfighting dragons, while also having forces on the ground such as giants and magic users. As with Star Trek: Attack Wing, the Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing game series consists of a starter set and expansion packs. The Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing – Starter Set includes three pre-painted dragons, maneuver dials, and upgrade cards and tokens.
Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing supports 2–99 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 Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing is 30 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 Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing for ages 14 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.
Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing has a complexity rating of 2.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
