Description
--- Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a two-player LCG of tactical warfare, kingdom building, and questing in the Warhammer universe (24 words). Key mechanics include: - *Deck construction* Players build decks from faction-specific cards like units, heroes, spells, and structures, similar to Magic: The Gathering but with LCG fixed contents and no rarity. - *Zone-based play* Cards deploy to a 3-zone Capital: Kingdom for resources, Quest for card draws, Battlefield for attacks/defense. - *Resource allocation* Balance economy building, quest completion, attacking enemy's capital, and defending zones. - *Capital damage* Opponent damage burns Capital zones; losing two zones ends the game. - *Faction variety* Choose Dwarfs, Empire, Orcs, Chaos, or Order/Destruction alliances with unique playstyles. - *Tactical decisions* Strategically position units for offense, defense, resource generation, and draws. Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a two-player Living Card Game (LCG) set in the Warhammer universe, emphasizing intense warfare, kingdom management, and epic questing. Players construct decks from faction cards—such as indestructible Dwarfs, shrewd Empire, savage Orcs, mutating Chaos, or Order/Destruction alliances—and duel by allocating resources to develop their 3-zone Capital, complete quests, and assault the opponent's Capital. Unlike Magic: The Gathering's blind collecting and unified play area, it uses Fantasy Flight's LCG model with known expansion contents and no rarity, plus zoned deployment: Kingdom cards generate resources, Quest cards boost draws, and Battlefield cards enable attacks while defenders in targeted zones mitigate damage. Burning two Capital zones via accumulated damage results in defeat, demanding precise tactical balance between economy, aggression, and defense. The Core Set includes a rulebook, 220 cards across 4 factions, Capital boards, and tokens; expansions span cycles like Corruption, Enemy, Morrslieb, Capital, Bloodquest, Eternal War, plus deluxe packs such as Assault on Ulthuan. ---
