Description
Volstead is a strategic turn-based game set in the United States during the 1920s, when the Volstead Act was declared. It is designed for 1 to 5 players in hot-seat mode and offers an immersive gaming experience with lots of possible strategies. The game mechanics are easy to understand, making it suitable for both experienced gamers and newcomers alike. Each game typically takes between 20 and 60 minutes to complete, depending on how many players are involved. The texts in the game are available in both English and Spanish.
Volstead is a unique take on strategy games that will challenge your tactical skills as you attempt to outwit your opponents. You'll need to think carefully about each move you make as you strive for victory over your opponents - no two games will ever be the same! With its simple yet engaging gameplay, Volstead provides hours of entertainment for all ages.
The goal of Volstead is simple: be the last player standing by eliminating all other players from the board! To do this, you must use clever tactics and strategy while managing resources such as money, influence points, and action cards wisely throughout each round of play. As rounds progress, more powerful action cards become available which can help turn the tide of battle in your favor - but beware; these cards can also be used against you by other players!
Each round begins with a bidding phase where players bid on action cards using their influence points or money (or both). After bidding has concluded, each player takes turns playing their action cards until all have been played or discarded - whichever comes first. During this phase it's important to keep an eye on what other players are doing so that you can anticipate their moves before they make them! Once all actions have been resolved (including any special abilities triggered by certain card combinations), it's time for combat resolution where damage inflicted upon opposing units is calculated based on attack strength versus defense strength values assigned to each unit type present on board at that time. After combat resolution has finished any remaining units belonging to defeated opponents are removed from play while those belonging still standing remain until next round begins again with another bidding phase followed by another round of combat resolution if necessary until one player remains victorious over all others!
Volstead offers an exciting gaming experience full of surprises every time you play thanks its wide variety of possible strategies combined with its replayability factor – no two games will ever be exactly alike! Whether playing solo or against friends/family members/strangers online via hot-seat mode; Volstead provides hours upon hours worth of entertainment sure to please even most seasoned gamers out there looking for something new & different from traditional strategy titles currently available today!

The release date is just around the corner. I hope it lives up to the expectations!
The screenshots and trailer on the software page got me hooked already. Can't wait for August 3rd!
Is there any information about the game's storyline? That's something I'm always curious about.
Hey Emily! I couldn't find any specific information on the storyline, but based on the gameplay footage, it seems like a classic platformer with a quest to defeat an evil boss.
I'm a big fan of platformer games with challenging levels. Hoping Volstead will provide that level of difficulty!
Jennifer, I'm with you on that. Challenging levels make platformers more engaging and satisfying to complete.
I agree, but I hope there's a good balance between difficulty and fun. No one wants rage-inducing frustration!
Absolutely, Sarah! Difficult levels are great, but they should still be enjoyable, not overly frustrating.
I'm glad to hear that the levels are challenging. That adds replay value to a game like Volstead.
Agreed, Emily. The ability to replay levels and aim for better scores or faster times keeps players hooked.
I'm also curious about the game's controls. Are they easy to grasp or more complex?
Jennifer, from what I gather, the controls seem fairly intuitive. Jumping, running, and attacking enemies appear to be smooth and responsive.
That's good to hear, David! Responsive controls are essential, especially in fast-paced platformers.
I'm hoping for some unique power-ups or abilities in Volstead. That always enhances the gameplay experience for me.
From what I've seen in the trailer, Aaron, there are definitely some power-ups throughout the levels. It should add some depth to the gameplay.
I appreciate when platformer games have a good variety of power-ups. It keeps things interesting and encourages exploration.
Exploration is always a fun aspect of platformers. I enjoy searching for secret areas and hidden collectibles.
Jennifer, I'm right there with you. Finding hidden collectibles adds an extra layer of challenge and satisfaction to platformer games.
I hope the game has a good mix of platforming challenges and puzzles. It makes the gameplay more engaging and diverse.
Sarah, I agree. Puzzles that require both platforming skills and brainpower can make a game stand out from the rest.
I always enjoy a platformer with well-designed levels. It's satisfying to navigate through cleverly crafted environments.
Well-designed levels can create a sense of immersion and make the game world feel alive. Hoping Volstead has that!
Platformer games often have interesting boss battles. I'd love to see unique and challenging bosses in Volstead!
I agree, Jennifer. Memorable boss battles can be a highlight of platformer games. Looking forward to what Volstead has in store.
Boss battles can definitely make or break a platformer experience. Hopefully, Volstead nails it!
I hope the game offers some replayability beyond just completing the main story. Achievements or additional challenges would be great.
Aaron, I believe the developers mentioned in an interview that they have plans for post-release content, so there might be more to do in Volstead after finishing the main story.
That's good to hear, Emily. Adding post-release content can keep players engaged and extend the game's longevity.
I'll definitely keep an eye on Volstead's community and modding scene. User-generated content can breathe new life into the game.
Jennifer, I agree. A strong and active community can make a game even better with their creativity and passion.
I hope the developers will be responsive to player feedback and continue supporting the game post-launch. That's always a good sign.

That's great to know, Aaron. A responsive development team shows their commitment to creating a quality experience for the players.
I'm curious if there are any plans for a console release of Volstead. I'd love to play it on my Nintendo Switch.
I haven't seen any official announcements, Michael, but given the popularity of platformer games on consoles, it wouldn't be surprising if it eventually makes its way there.
A console release would certainly widen the game's reach and please console gamers who enjoy platformer games.
Playing a platformer like Volstead on a larger screen with a controller would be a different experience. I hope the developers consider a console version.
I'm curious about the system requirements for Volstead. I hope it's accessible to a wide range of Windows PC users.
Good point, Aaron. It would be disappointing if the game had high system requirements that limited its audience.
I couldn't find detailed system requirements, but looking at the visuals, it seems like it should run on mid-range PCs without issues.
I appreciate when developers optimize their games to run well on a variety of hardware. It allows more players to enjoy the experience.
The game's art style and atmosphere really caught my attention. It has a unique and appealing aesthetic.
I agree, David. The art style has a charming and nostalgic feel to it. Looking forward to exploring its visually captivating world.
The art direction is definitely one of the game's strengths. It brings back memories of classic platformers while maintaining its own identity.
I'm glad the developers put effort into designing a visually appealing game. It enhances the overall experience and immerses the player.
Based on the information and feedback we have so far, Volstead seems like a promising addition to the platformer genre. Looking forward to its release!
Agreed, Michael. Let's hope that Volstead lives up to the hype and delivers an enjoyable platforming experience for players of all ages.
