A game inspired to the Signal Corps Service during the First World War trench warfare. These soldiers had to restore the communication infrastructures between various trenches and carried heavy phone cable spools. They operated in freshly conquered territories, close to the enemy lines and often out of the trench protection, making them easy victims to enemy snipers and air raids.

Trench Phone is a 4-players game controlled via one keyboard (see the in-game tutorials for details), for a total of one Sniper and three "Trenchers". Trenchers win if they connect 7 phone poles. Sniper wins if prevents them from restoring the communications. The roles are randomly picked every round
