Hawken: Real-time Card Game – Scout Vs. Grenadier

This real-time mech card game has pilots deploy weapons, thrusters, and abilities to knock out an opponent’s machine. Rapid card play risks overheating, while seizing the central fire button ends the round and tests both reflexes and timing.

Read the full game description

From the publisher: Grab a Mech and get to fighting... fast! Based on the free-to-play FPS, HAWKEN, you will pilot a Mech with the goal of knocking out your opponent's Mech. In Hawken: Real-Time Card Game, your deck of cards contains primary and secondary weapons systems, thrusters, special abilities, and various other high-tech instruments of war. Draw cards and place them onto the table as fast as you can, but be careful or you might overheat! The action is in real-time, but a game round ends when a player snags the FIRE! button from the center of the table. Quick reflexes are helpful, but a quick mind will win every time!
