PLAYED FOR YOU

Proxy Wars

Green Engage vS Megacorp

Confrontation between a Mega Corporation and an Environmental Protection Agency in an expandable card game, in which players use agents to achieve the goal of their faction, either maximum use of planetary resources or optimum protection of the environment. You use your agents to control a board that is individually evolving during a game by laying out cards. In order to win you must conquer cards on the board and eliminate opposing agents. You start the game with a stock of 10 agents, represented by wooden discs, and a set of cards for your faction. One game turn for a player comprises one action out of five possible actions: Play a new card - recruit an agent - move and agent - attack enemy agents - resolve card action. Agents are recruited via recruitment cards that need to be on the board. The cards show icons for Personality, Organization, Recruitment, Location, Attack and Defense Values, Victory Points, all with bonus values, Resources, Events and Spawn. Special abilities demand the presence of an agent on the card to be activated.

Should at any time during the game the number of recruited agents of a player plus the number of victory points on his cards be higher than the total of opposing agents and victory points (captured agents do not count), this player instantly wins the game.

The concept of using cards to create a board has been cleverly implemented, the variety of card possibilities needs some time to familiarize oneself with all they can do; scenarios and web sites that were announced for background stories and both factions are in various stages of being created.
