About the project:

Build your army, deploy it to the battlefield, upgrade your forces and command them in simultaneous combat!

REDLINE: Tactical Card Combat is an exciting expandable card game that features simultaneous combat and mission based objectives to secure and hold. REDLINE, blends the tactical maneuvers of tabletop wargames with the fast paced gameplay of card games.

Winning requires careful resource management, and tactical cunning thanks to REDLINE’s unique mission and combat system. Unlike many other card games, the battlefield exists in the form of mission cards that grant bonuses when captured. Players give mission orders using secret dials before combat that allows for the setting up of maneuvers such flanks, feints and ambushes. Or, create a gap in the front and rush your units through to attack your opponent’s deck. In REDLINE, how you fight is totally up to you. just remember, no plan survives first contact!

Growing up, we spent many long nights dodging homework to design homebrew mechs then blowing them up over the weekends with friends on hex mapped battlefields. Now as adults, that creative gaming energy is mostly spent on building around flashy commanders while slinging spells at our buddies across the kitchen table. As such, we designed REDLINE: Tactical Card Combat to blend the best parts of our favorite gaming experiences together in one awesome game!
