Blue Max (board game)

Blue Max is a multi-player board game of World War I aerial combat over the Western Front during 1917 and 1918.

Canvas Eagles, an upgraded version of Blue Max, was designed by Eric Hotz and released free on the web.

Frankly, only a pretty dedicated WWI flying ace - beagles aside - will ever actually earn the 20 kills necessary to wear the Blue Max.

"[2] In the May 1990 edition of Games International (Issue 14), Theo Clarke noted the simplicity of the rules, saying the rulebook was "largely superfluous after the first read."

Clarke also admired the production values of the components, saying, "These large counters greatly enhance the perceived quality of the game."
