Description

BRACE FOR IMPACT! is a 2-Player micro dice game that requires lightning-quick decisions, dexterity and stamina. As a Naval Submarine Commander your mission is to either gather enough vital intel or destroy your enemy’s crew before your enemy beats you to it. Each Commander controls two dice and a meeple crew aboard a submarine equipped with torpedoes. Surface and dive, load and fire torpedoes and manage your crew to become victorious. Do you have what it takes to win?


Wondering how Brace for Impact! is played? No worries, we've got you covered:

THE SETUP: Prepare for your epic battle by separating the black and blue game pieces. Each player receives two dice, 1 status card, 1 torpedo, and 3 meeples of their color. The 8 intelligence gems and extra meeples are set off to the side within reach of both players.

Ready? START ROLLING! Engage your aquatic rival in a real-time, action-packed battle by rolling your dice. Manage to roll a 7 or doubles and you have a few options:

ON THE SURFACE: 7's on the surface allow you to dive underwater OR add 1 crew member. Doubles on the surface allow you to load your torpedo OR drop depth charges to remove 1 of your rival's gathered intelligence gems.

UNDERWATER: 7's underwater allow you to return to the surface OR gather 1 intelligence gem. Doubles underwater allow you to load your torpedo OR fire your torpedo (if loaded) to remove 1 of your rival's crew members.

Play continues until a player loses their entire crew or gathers 5 intelligence gems!

Why buy this?

The game plays quickly, but is filled with nervous, confusing, and frantic tension. That’s a good thing.

  • Real-time play that keeps you engaged the entire battle!
  • A bit of press-your-luck with multiple strategies!
  • Two ways to win!
