Gudnak (the Orcish word for "War") is a tactical card game played on a 3x3 grid with easy to learn rules and deep tactics. Players choose a faction, build a deck of heroes and then compete to siege their opponent's keep while defending their own. Gudnak offers surprising tactical depth both in gameplay and deckbuilding while maintaining easy to grok rules. Ultimately Gudnak is a game about using your fighters to the best of their abilities so that your army outlasts your opponents. Gudnak is set in a fantasy world who's star is dying. The lowering temperatures have caused massive political changes in the world as people find ways to stay fed and stay warm. The core set pits two factions against one another. The Refractory are a religious group who believe that the sun is a god who is punishing them. They build keeps and monuments in areas of the world where sunlight is strongest. The Shardsworn are a shaky alliance who use power derived from chunks of meteorites to stay warm. The Refractory believes using these Shards is angering their god, while the Shardworn need to roam farther and farther into Refractory lands to gather food. Looks like this world is primed for conflict.
