Kards

Kards is a turn-based collectible card game. It is played between two players, each with a deck of 40 cards themed around strategies of powers during World War II: Germany, Great Britain, Soviet Union, the United States and Imperial Japan. Players can choose to build a deck using one of the five major powers. Additionally, Poland, Italy, France, Finland and ANZAC are available as ally nations.

Though the game is based on historical warfare, individual decks may contain two opposing nations (for example, it is possible to create a deck with Germany as the major power and the Soviet Union as an ally.) Each nation has its own unique strategy and playstyle. While each nation has a certain theme, decks within the same nation can vary wildly. For example, the Soviet Union often utilizes light infantry combined with Area of effect buffs to overwhelm the opponent with sheer numbers.

1939 Days was founded in 2015 by former CEO Ívar Kristjánsson and Project Lead Guðmundur Kristjánsson of CCP Games, best known for developing Eve Online, with Kards being their first project.

At first, Kards started out as a cardboard prototype using real life cards and went into full production as an online CCG after receiving a $70,000 grant, making its first public appearance in March 2019.

Kards received generally favorable reviews from critics, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
