The game announcement:
When Shakespeare wrote the line, “Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war,” he never dreamed he’d inspire a new combat card game. HAVOC! THE COMBAT CARD GAME is a fast-paced card sand-dice game replicating realistic medieval hand-to-hand combat. Players take on the roles of knights, barbarians, or other warriors locked in a deadly struggle. After choosing weapons and armor, Players build decks of Combat Action Cards. These cards show what each fighter does – actions like slashing with a sword, parrying with a shield, or dodging. Players shuffle their decks, draw their hands and play their cards as a mix of attacks, defenses, and pauses.
“HAVOC! is 100% complete,” said Anthony Dale of Havoc Games. “Many crowdfunded games ask for help funding artwork, layout, and design. We finished all that work and have actually
submitted prepress files to the printer, so we’re turning to crowdfunding only to help raise funds for printing and distribution. Frontloading all the art and design work will help us deliver the game more quickly to supporters.”
HAVOC! THE COMBAT CARD GAME is designed for 2 or more players aged 14 years and older. Two players can run a HAVOC! fight in about twenty minutes. The robust combat system allows for larger fights involving multiple opponents that could take an hour or longer. HAVOC! can be played on its own or used to supplement the combat system of almost any roleplaying game involving melee combat. Everything needed to play comes in the box, including 864 poker-sized cards (over 90% with full-color art), two rulebooks, two full-color cardboard playmats, eighty eight game tokens, fifteen tuck boxes for organizing cards, and dice.
