What is The Space War card game and why do I think it is an amazing game?
Hi I am Jim and I am the creator of this new card game - The Space War.
I have been playing card games on and off the last 25 years - for example Magic, Hearthstone, Dominion, Doomtrooper and many others. I also play a lot of modern board games.
In the summer of 2018 I started working on my own card game which in my opinion is much better than other similar games.

Said About the Game
The way the stations work, allowing you to customize and manipulate your actions, is very, very clever. I also like how it functions as your life meter, meaning there is no need for health counters.

Very elegant design with solid core and interesting core mechanics.

Card games is a big part of my life and I have played many different games the last 25 years including Magic the Gathering, Hearthstone, Dominion, RftG, Star Realms, Doomtrooper, different classic card games and other CCGs but The Space War is what I enjoy most to play in a 2 player game ... by far.
We have more than 60 modern board games and I just asked my 10 year old son what is his favorite game of all time and he answered The Space War without any hesitation. I think the same. We have played the game on a regular basis for 2 years now.
