Cards of War

In this game, you control the blue tank with a goal to destroy the red enemy tank. Movements and attacks are controlled by your set of cards, the green cards are movement cards and blue cards are attack cards. There is one catch, in this game you don't construct your own deck and the cards in your hand are shared between you and the enemy. In the beginning of the game, you select cards that you want to discard, then you make your move and then the enemy makes a move. After each turn, you will select a card and the enemy also selects a card to add into the shared hand.

There are in total 6 different cards, three of each type, movement- and attack cards:

• Free allows for free movement within the range specified by the card, in the example you can move within a radius of 6 squares.
• Horizontal allows for only horizontal movement, except you can move as far as there is no obstacle in the way.
• Vertical is the same as above, except in the vertical direction.
• Laser attacks the enemy in all four directions, it can reach until there is an obstacle in the way, these cards typically have low attack damage because of the long range.
• Cannon allows the player to attack any square within range, but the range is not affected by obstacles.
• Blast automatically attacks the enemy within a radius.
