Do you like Battle Royales and getting together with your friends? We made a Battle Royale you can get together and play with your friends! By combining the simplicity of a party game with the strategy of competitive trading card games, Counter Warfare lets you drop in and have a great time fighting your 'IRL' friends and fam over-and-over-and-over. The game is made of 104 Unique, Balanced, Beautiful cards, divided into 2 card types and 4 rarities. Players take turns choosing the best play for their turn to get rid of all opponent cards while still keeping some in their hand. In this game, your cards are your life, so there are no trackers, dice, or anything else required to play the game. Just the cards. The game also takes an average of 3 minutes to learn due to the fact that all the cards tell you exactly how to play them, and there are no other resources required. When the deck runs out, players discard cards on their turn instead of drawing, ensuring that there will always only be 1 winner. The game has a ton of humor in it, and is great for 1v1's and small groups. Players are constantly coming up with plans that other players are constantly ruining, and emotions can get playfully heated! The lighthearted design of the cards adds a great personal touch to the game. —description from the designer
