Trouble is brewing high above the city of angels! The mysterious Rocketeer — who can blast through the skies with an ingenious jet-pack — must stop a sinister plot. Hollywood actor Neville Sinclair is scheming to steal the rocket's blueprints as this breakthrough of modern engineering could revolutionize the future of flight. But in Sinclair's hands, it could also fuel the dark future of warfare.
In the two-player game The Rocketeer: Fate of the Future, you play as either the heroes or the villains. On your turn, pick one of your characters and take an action with them, optionally playing cards from your hand that match that character's symbol. Card actions are: Move, Tussle (combat), Gain Grit, Raise Rocket Token (heroes), Recruit a Soldier (villain). Players alternate turns until all six characters (three on each side) have taken actions and are exhausted, then players gain rewards based on control of the locations and prepare for a new round.
The end of the game happens when the Luxembourg Zeppelin reaches LA, after which you play the final round, then the game ends.

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games. You can pry them out of my cold dead hands.
4.5 - Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc.
4.0 - Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience.
3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad.
3.0 - A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn't lose any sleep.
2.5 - A game I'd play again , but will never suggest it myself
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again
1.5 - A game I can't find any reason to recommend
1.0 - A game that is just bad.
