Ares will also present at Essen Spiel a preview of Tripods & Triplanes, a Wings of Glory “weird war” spin-off designed by Andrea Angiolino (Wings of Glory/Sails of Glory), Francesco Nepitello and Marco Maggi (War of the Ring, Age of Conan Strategy Board Game). The new game will bring the Martian invasion described by H.G. Wells in his novel ‘The War of the Worlds’ to the Wings of Glory game line, merging it with the historical background of the Great War. The game will be launched in November on Kickstarter, and a prototype will be showcased at the show.
