Panzer Clash Starter Pack

$ 17.99 SRP

Panzer Clash is a light, card-based war game for two Players about Second World War Panzer battles. With the Starter Pack you get all you need to start playing right away: Two player decks, one Axis and one Allies Deck, as well as a Terrain Deck. Pick either side and try to defeat your opponent on the battlefield. The player decks contain Factories, Units, Events and Terrain Modifiers. The players randomly pick 20 Terrain Cards laying them face down in a 4 X 5 grid on which their unit cards will move. Factories are needed to build Units and Terrain Modifiers as well as to power Events. Units and Events, which belong to one or more of the four factions (Germans, Japanese, Americans and Soviets) are used to attack and deal damage to the opponent. These have certain beneficial effects on the game or are used to weaken the opponent. For each point of damage a Player receives through Units and Events, one card from the deck is put into the discard-pile. If a player is unable to draw a card from the Supply, that player loses immediately. So take up the challenge, be a Panzer General and vie for ultimate domination on the battlefields of World War 2 .
