Card Conquest: Hitler’s Reich is a new casual wargame in development for GMT Games. Designed by Mark McLaughlin, the Card Conquest system is in line with a new emerging genre of ‘Euro wargames’: this game has few pieces and emphasizes fast play in a single session. The center of the game is card play. If you have ever played the card game War you will quickly grasp how the Card Conquest system works. Please join veteran game designer and developer Fred Schachter (Siege of Jerusalem, Wellington, Kutuzov, The Napoleonic Wars (2nd Ed.), Conquest of Paradise, and most recently Rebel Raiders on the High Seas) for this playtest session.
Fred is also going to have a playtest copy of Illusions of Glory. GMT's new card driven wargame covering the eastern front of World War I. Illusions of Glory will be the next game to the well received Paths of Glory series of games about that conflict.
