At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, scientists across Europe and the USA laid the foundations of modern telecommunications. In WIRELESS, you take on the roles of pioneering figures of this era – Marconi, Tesla, Braun, and Edison – competing for patents, financial backing, and increasingly powerful connections.
At the heart of the game is a streamlined action system: building radio stations, transmitting signals, modulating connections, raising funds, or preparing patents all require tiles from your own display. The more often an action is used, the harder it becomes to access again in the short term. Precise timing is therefore essential.
Patents, scientists, magnates, factories, and personal target nations open up a variety of strategic paths – every game unfolds differently.
From the Zhanguo author duo Marco Canetta and Stefania Niccolini: an expert game full of meaningful decisions.
