Description:
Boiler! A fast-paced, chaotic and action filled Real Time Strategy game for up to 8 players using only one computer!
There is a war in the age of steam. Nobody knows what started it, nobody believes it will end. The population has been divided into eight factions, with their own dim reasons to fight. There is blood in the Boiler…
Each player operates the game using the minimalistic control system of one button per player. With this button the player can put one of the 8 different units upon the battlefield, using morse code-like input.
Boiler’s challenge lies in reflexes and tactics, choosing the right unit at the right spot. Each unit has its strengths and weaknesses, but their goal is always the same; occupy the battlefield and take out the enemy units. After a round of 3 minutes, the player with the highest score wins. Score is gained by deploying units and destroying enemy units.

8 different units
