About the game
G.E.V. ("Ground Effect Vehicle") is a science fiction board wargame that simulates combat in the near future between armored hovercraft, supertanks and other futuristic weaponry.
The game was designed by American game designer Steve Jackson as a sequel to his Ogre board game when he was working for Metagaming Concepts. When Jackson left Metagaming to form his own company, he took the rights to both G.E.V. and Ogre with him, and all subsequent editions have been produced by Steve Jackson Games.More from Metagaming
