CARDS OF WAR

CARDS OF WAR







RULES
Shuffle the cards. There is one common deck and one discard pile.
One player is the Axis, the other is the Allies.
Each player starts the game with 3 territory tokens.
Play proceeds in a series of rounds. 
At the beginning of a round each player gets dealt 10 cards.
During the round players take turns deploying one card at a time.
The Allies go first.
A deployed card is played face up on the table.
The turns continue until all cards have been deployed.
Each card has a force value.
The side at the end of the round with the highest Force total on the table wins the round.
Each card is of one or more types. The types include:
Infantry, Intelligence, Sea, Sub, Air, Tank, Artillery, Mine, and Fortification.
Some cards have the KILL ability, followed by what type of cards they can kill.
When deployed a kill card causes an enemy card of a type it can destroy to be discarded.
If there are no targets then the opportunity to cause a discard is wasted.
Discarded cards do not count towards a players force total.
Some cards have other abilities which are conducted as soon as the card is deployed.
The winner of a round takes a territory token from his opponent.
The first player in possession of all six tokens wins the game.
If you run out of cards shuffle the discards back into the deck.
