Really good and interesting rendition of WW2 Warfare in a card game. The battlefield consists of 3 lanes, the two HQ lanes and then a front, which interacts in many way with cards and invites to use different strategies. Each round you collect credits that you use to play cards, move units and attack. The goal is to attack the opponents HQ until its HP reach 0, simple enough.

Cards are divided into several categories with their own characteristics (tanks can move and attack, artillery can shoot freely over the map without getting damaged, so can bombers but they are stopped if a plane guards the lane etc etc.)
After 50 hours i can say there seems to be a healthy amount of build diversity, that reflect certain war doctrines in an interesting manner. It's also not difficult to collect a competetive deck yourself, so you can try out various things.

You can copy your opponents deck easily, which is what i did to build a very interesting seeming japanese "mill" deck. Took me around 10 hours of playing, building my own decks etc. to collect the placeholder cards as to then assemble said deck, which made me climb ranks and got me various "Cool Deck!" emotes.

It's just a very satisfying, well balanced and in terms of monetization fair game, that also a lot of times plays out in a way that makes it feel like a proper battle being fought out on the battlefield.

possibly the most elegantly designed card game i've ever played. great stuff.

pretty fun actually, played with friends but never played online
