With little interest in the typical fantasy setting, 1939 Games decided to bring a gun to the CCG sword fight. It is a natural fit, as KARDS seamlessly fuses the team’s passions of both WWII and collectable card games. The result is an exciting combat system that employs a range-altering Frontline mechanic with historically accurate units and tactics.

By growing the range of available units through classic booster pack mechanics, players are able to construct decks to suit their play style. Recruiting cards from a single Nation, or by mixing two Nations card sets, KARDS allows players to catch their opponents off-guard with bespoke decks that enable them to blitz the battlefield!

1939 Games today announced that its third expansion pack KARDS: Breakthrough will be marching onto PCs this December 9th as a free download. Featuring 81 brand new cards, Breakthrough promises to grow and diversify players’ strategic options by introducing new tactics, strategies and abilities for armchair generals to unleash against their opponents. Players can also pre-order expansion pack bundles for up to 30% off from today. 

Breakthrough will continue to enhance KARDS’s historically inspired real-world battlefield tactics when it lands as an automatic update for existing players. Each of the game’s five nations receives 15 brand new cards, with the two support Allied countries receiving a further three cards each to reinforce their unique combat style. This includes America’s 75th Rangers that reduce the operating cost of a friendly unit to zero, mirroring how the regiment led the advance of the Allied forces. Breakthrough also introduces powerful new tactics such as the “Pincer” ability which allows units to join forces for more devastating strikes and “Research” an ability that can slowly increase in power to provide huge late-game plays. Players who incorporate these new units and abilities into their decks can bring fresh new tactics to their game in the hope of seizing KARDS’s frontline and dominating the battlefield.

KARDS: Breakthrough booster packs will be available to purchase from the in-game store from December 9th. Before then, players can purchase one of three Breakthrough bundles for up to a 30% discount from the game’s store and receive a free Breakthrough emote. Each bundle is made up from the recently introduced, larger Officer Packs that guarantee at least one card of Special rarity and two of Limited rarity (or higher). Players that pre-order Breakthrough bundles will receive a portion of their purchase on December 4th, giving them a little extra time to integrate these powerful new cards into their decks.
