Fantasy Flight (producers of some of the best board games going around) have announced the creation of a new Living Card game set entitled "Warhammer: INVASION"

Release is expected for "Fall"

A description from their website:

The Invasion Begins...
The Old World seethes with ancient rivalries and boils in the cauldron of savage warfare. Enemies and allies alike face off against one another to settle ancient claims, and to live the glory of battle for themselves.

Brought to you by famed designer Eric M. Lang, Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a two-player card game of intense warfare, clever kingdom management, and epic questing. Players must carefully allocate their resources as they seek to build their kingdom, complete quests, and attack the enemy’s capital.

Will you play the indestructible grudge-bearing Dwarfs, the shrewd and manoeuvrable Empire, the savage and destructive Orcs, or the entropic and mutating forces of Chaos? Or will you cleverly craft an alliance, playing the combined might of the forces of either Order or Destruction?

Warhammer Invasion LCG Core Set contains:

1 Rulebook
220 Cards representing 4 factions
4 Capital Boards
35 Resource Tokens
60 Damage Tokens
4 Burning Tokens

Can't wait for it to come out although I figure I'll go Chaos, just one question, launch party? (or something close to it.)

A living card game doesnt work the same as a CCG as described here on the FFG website:

A Living Card Game (LCG) is a game that breaks away from the traditional Collectible Card Game (CCG) model by offering a new fixed card distribution method that still offers the same dynamic customizable, expanding, and constantly evolving game play that makes CCG’s so much fun, but without the blind buy purchase model that has burned out so many players. The end result is an innovative mix that gives you the best of both worlds!

But I suppose if a couple of people are intrested in getting some decks when its released Im sure glen wouldnt mind me runninng a launch party.

The Starter decks will probably be cost a bit more than your average CCG starter though. (My guesstimate is about $50 - $60)

but you will more than likely get a deck for every faction.

$40 for the starter pack that comes with all for decks and everything else you need!
Im really looking into this as it looks really nice and snazzy!

[masterdecoy]

um, games world was retailing it at $80, wouldnt count my chickens so fast iggy.

was very skeptical about this one, but after playing have found it very enjoyable.

the four races included all play very differently giving good replayability.

so long as they keep bringing out good & balanced expansions this one could have some lifespan.

will be getting this one in soon for anyone interested.

nice, and at masterdecoy i just read from their website...but $80 seems a bit hefty
