Steamforged Games has announced that they are going to be working on a new card game for 2023. Gears Of War is going to be revving up and hitting tabletops with a new two-player game based on the hit video game.

This new card game is a story-driven and campaign-style affair. You'll go from scenario to scenario where what happens in one game will have a direct effect on what happens next. As a two-player game, one player will take on the role of the Coalitions Of Ordered Governments (COG) whilst the other will play as the Locust Horde. Famous faces like Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago are going to appear alongside the likes of Uzil Raam for the Locust.

Wins and losses from each scenario will dictate what gets added or removed from your deck in subsequent games and whilst we don't know much more about the game now, it does seem like a fun way to play out a campaign game. It's certainly neat to see Steamforged producing a game of this style without masses of miniatures and other components.

Additional information is coming down the pipeline for this new card game and it will be interesting to see how it plays! I know a lot of folks would quite like Steamforged to bring back the Fantasy Flight Games board game too. I doubt we'll see that but maybe we can cross our fingers?

Will you be taking a look at this?
