Warhammer 40.000 Conquest

Das Kartenspiel

Warhammer 40.000 Conquest is the newest addition to the continually expanding range of so-called Living Card Games - card games for which there is always a core game and series of six additional packs for expanding the core game, each set of six comes with a serial title, and each War Pack is made up, contrary to collectible card games, from the same cards.

Warhammer 40.000 is set in a far, dark future - there is war in the Traxis sector of the galaxy. You command a faction and must conquer three planets of the same type and balance victory in today’s battles against planning and preparations for future battles. Each faction - Space Marines, Astra Militarum, The Orks, Chaos, Eldar, Dark Eldar or Tau – has its special deck and a special Warlord. A round comprises the phases of Mobilization - you activate cards from your hand; Command - you use your command discs to deploy warlords on planets and resolve command conflicts; Conflict - beginning with the first planet there is conflict on each planet with a Warlord; Headquarter Phase -the First Planet marker is relocated, the next planet is revealed, you reactivate exhausted cards and hand over the initiative marker. Conflicts are resolved using detailed rules. Alliances are possible with your neighbors on the so called Ally Wheel. You can incorporate cards of those factions into your deck.

Warhammer 40.000 Conquest surely is a must for fans of the Warhammer 40k universe, as it is based on the Games Workshop tabletop of the same name, even if cards are a bit limited for each faction in the core set, and it provides solid fun with a reasonable expenditure for additional cards.
