Top 5 ‘Card Assisted War Games’
Trying to find games that use cards but not to drive movement. The cards are just an augment to the game. Judd’s picks will have me checking out several games.
As for me it is a tough list to build so I’m more along the lines of Bart in this one, but I’m having trouble with getting 5
- Conflict of Heroes – Agree it is a good tactical games
- Risk 2210 – I liked your Risk stories I have several from my college days. However, I like this version more and it has a strong card element.
- Blue vs Gray – Hard to say card assisted when the whole game including the map is cards. The cards represent the units of your armies you have to assemble.
- Friedrich and Maria – By far my favorite. Cards here represent your strength and locations that you can apply to battles. Very simple but so nicely captures the war of position of the 7 Years War and the War of the Austrian Succession.
Thought about the Down in Flames series – but cards there represent the plane maneuvers to get into position to fire.
The other I may think may be in the list is Rebel Raiders on the High Seas some cards are movement but most of the rest are combat cards
