Built lean, strong, powerful and simple, yet packed with enough Steampunk imagination to get any heart beating like clockwork, Steam Wars is the card game that War was meant to be. Play whole hands of aether-powered heat ray artillery units with support against your foe’s pitiful legions of fusiliers armed with pneumatic cannons, then watch them burn under the force of your might. Clutch your cards in fear as your enemy reveals a hand of steam-mortar emplacements, then bombards your heat-ray artillery into oblivion. Wield a mixed force, sacrifice the weak to distract your enemy, then power on to victory, and all this in about a half an hour! With Steam Wars, you’ll have to use strategy and cunning to overwhelm your foes, forcing them to run through cards until they clutch the last one and sit gibbering as you crush them. —description from the publisher
