Axis & Allies is a strategic board game set during World War II, where players control the major powers involved in the conflict. The game typically accommodates 2 to 5 players, divided into two teams: the Axis powers (Germany, Japan, and Italy) and the Allies (United States, United Kingdom, and Soviet Union). Players engage in military tactics, resource management, and diplomacy to achieve global dominance. Each turn, players move their units, engage in battles, and manage their economies to produce more military forces. The game emphasizes teamwork and strategy, as players must collaborate with their teammates while countering their opponents' moves to secure victory.
