Heavy Gear Fighter is the combat card game set in the Heavy Gear universe. It is a card-based dueling game in which two Heavy Gears fight it out in the Badlands. WARNING! This is NOT a collectible card game -- everything you need to play is in the box. Expansion sets and cards will be sold in boxes, various magazines and some of the major source books, but they are identical from copy to copy and only serve to bring new elements to the game. HGF does not use dice or paper. Each Gear has a full color record/action sheet that is used to keep track of actions/damage (with counters), and every card is illustrated with a full color picture of a Heavy Gear.
