On February 24, 2022, a full-scale war began right in the center of Europe. Missiles launched from the territory of Russia and Belarus began to destroy civilian and military infrastructure. Russia's troops invaded Ukraine. However, thanks to the determined resistance of the Ukrainian army (AFU) and the territorial defense forces in the early days of the aggression, the occupying army suffered a significant loss in personnel and machinery. AFU: Armed Forces of Ukraine is a deck-building card game. We offer you the chance to test your strength and defeat the invaders. The game consists of two phases. During the first phase, you need to think and plan your strategy and start building up your army. Every turn, you have to correctly distribute your resources in order to repel the enemy's attack, get as many bonuses as possible, and mobilize troops. During the second phase, the game becomes even more interesting thanks to various events that will affect the players. Unlock objects, destroy the enemy, and do not forget about the achievements to prove your mastery of this game. Skillful management of the troops of the Armed Forces and preventing dismay will help you deliver a crushing defeat to the enemy!
