Strike HQ is a two-player, head-to-head, expandable battle card game that brings the classic thrill of real-time strategy (RTS) video games to the tabletop. Starting with only a Headquarters and a handful of units, you play commanders of opposing factions and will use an innovative blend of simultaneous action programming and hidden information mechanics to construct your bases, deploy more units, and launch a strike against the enemy HQ. The game takes 2 minutes to set up, plays in around one hour, and you win by either destroying your opponent’s HQ through an overwhelming offensive or by sitting back and storing up enough resources to launch a game-ending Atomic Strike! Gameplay is inspired by classic PC RTS video games of the 1990s like Command & Conquer: Red Alert, and more recently Company of Heroes. —description from the designer
