Product description
The card deck contains 35 cards (plus a rules and cover card) and was sold in a plastic hardshell case. The rules were printed onto a card in the set.[1]
Card layout
Each card features a full-colour photo of a Citadel Miniature with the following info:[1]
- top: race/ army and unit name
- middle section: the photo, weapons details and sometimes a unit description
- bottom: the game relevant statistics (Fire Power, Close Combat, Armour Value, Weapon Range and Speed)
Standard game principle
Any number of players can participate in the game. All cards are evenly distributed and kept face down, excess cards are discarded. The owner of the pack then flips over his top Combat Card and picks a statistic, then each of the other players put their top card face up onto the table. The card with the highest value of the chosen statistic wins and goes back to the bottom of the winning player's stack, all other cards are "killed" and removed. In the case of a draw, only the cards with an inferior value are removed and all the top value cards return to the stacks of their respective owners. The last player to hold any Combat Card wins the game.[1]
