A Western Front That Feels Authentic

Trench warfare is defined by aggressive stalemates and sudden breakthroughs. The art and mechanics are designed to work as one, as each card evokes both gameplay and narrative.

Quick Risks & Tactical Decisions, Not Long Procedures

DER TAG is built for sharp, head-to-head play. The setup is immediate, the rules are intuitive, and every turn forces a real choice between taking ground or losing it.

Dual-Function Trench Cards that Change the Front

Trench cards can be played as positions or stacked as fortifications. Your line is not static. It evolves under pressure, shaped by your choices and your opponent’s intent.

Artillery-Style Combat With Real Consequences

Skirmishes are resolved with a deliberate mix of tactics and uncertainty. The combat system captures the unpredictable nature of war through decisive, all-or-nothing encounters.

Fluid Chain Mechanics for Rapid Repositioning

Consistent occupation allows troops to move quickly through connected networks. You can respond to threats, exploit openings, and shift your weight to land a devastating blow.

Build the Line

Expand your fronts with trench positions and fortifications. Each new placement creates a necessity for defense and an opportunity to attack.

Break the Line

Deploy troops, form fireteams, and charge across No Man’s Land to outmaneuver your opponent. Use triplanes, ceasefires, and grenades to gain the upper hand.

Claim the Front

Capture and hold 12 Victory Points (positions & fortifications) to win the game.  Fortune favors the bold, and there are only the quick and the dead. 

A Sober WWI Setting With Purpose

Set on the Western Front, DER TAG centers on endurance, command, and the tension between stalemate and breakthrough. It is a constant friction where every order carries weight, and the title recalls the pivotal moment: “The Day.”
