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!

The expansion adds a series of five single-player campaigns to the game, recreating some of the most iconic battles of the Second World War. The update will also add 40 new cards that can be unlocked as players complete the campaigns, bringing further depth and strategy to the game.

KARDS five main nations - Britain, Germany, Japan, USA and The Soviet Union - each receive their own unique campaign in the Theaters of War expansion. Every one of these features five battles from real-world military campaigns, allowing players to recreate these conflicts using their own tactics and strategies. The British campaign thrusts the Allies into 1942’s Operation Torch in which players must fight to capture the Vichy-French controlled city of Tunis. With three decks available, there will be a range of strategies to master for each battle. Another first for the series is that between rounds cards will be upgradable - this will make them more powerful for the rest of the campaign.

Playing through each of the Theatres of War campaigns, players will be able to unlock eight exclusive cards for each of the KARDS nations. Among these special cards are new HQs that correspond to the locations of each campaign. These special HQs will transform the playboard as the game takes players from the sandy dunes of Africa to the snowy tundra of the Soviet winter, adding a fresh feel to online clashes. 

KARDS: Theaters of War will be available to players of its WW2 CCG on June 30, 2020 for $29.95 in-game, a 25% saving over purchasing the five campaigns individually.

Players can pre-purchase the bundle from June 19th, which will give them instant access to new card backs and five Elite Cards from the expansion to add to their deck. After June 30th, players can purchase the campaigns as a bundle, individually, or with Gold earned in-game.

1939 Games was formed by a group of senior ex-CCP executives with extensive experience of AAA titles, including EVE Online. Among their ranks are CCP founder and former-CEO Ivar Kristjansson and Project Lead Gudmundur Kristjansson. Together, they bring more than 25 years knowledge of the game's industry to Kards. Utilizing all of their experience the team has worked to create a deep, strategic title that will keep CCG fans captivated.
