This is a quick-playing little strategy game of card positioning. I don't know if physical copies exist yet, but it's clearly intended to be. Players have the same deck (different art) and take turns playing 2 cards each. Cards will destroy an opponent's card if a previously-played card can support it (artillery being an exception here). The objective is to occupy your opponent's base space on the opposite side of the city card in the center. You can see from the screenshots that each card has three 3x3 grid diagrams described on them. The first describes where supply can come from in relation to the card being played. The center diagram indicates which spaces this card attacks when played, which will ammount to nothing unless the card is supported. That brings us to the third diagram, which indicates which spaces the card will support after it goes into play (assuming it isn't destroyed by your opponent). You can only ever occupy your opponent's base space with a card that wi...

Battle for Sector 219 is a digital version of a fast playing card game. Imagine a 3x3 grid, with an obstacle in the middle. Each turn, you play two cards into that grid. No, it's not Tic Tac Toe, bear with me. Each card represents a supply route, an attack range, and a support fire range. The supply route dictates where you can play, you must keep a supply chain from your side of the base to where you seek to play. If the card has an attack range that overlaps an enemy card when you play, and you have another card's support range overlapping that card, you can attack with that placement, destroying an enemy card. You can only attack along with placing a card. That is the game. You try to capture the other player's side of the base, and you are jockeying for position. Only two card plays per turn, yes, but these are two incredibly stressful plays where you and your opponent are engaged in a proverbial knife fight in a phone booth, trying to wreck each other's placements and advance as ...
It's pretty tough, but once you win your first game you'll be hooked. Surprisingly deep tactical gameplay. Great for short bursts of intense gameplay - especially when playing online.
Tried to play it vs humans. Just says waiting for turn and then I suddenly lose the match. Looks like an ok game, if it would work...
With a little more polish this would have made a great mobile game. I have played this only once but the flaws are immediately apparent. My main complaint is that when looking at the list of cards in your hand, you can mouse over them to highlight them, but it doesn't bring them to the front. You can double click them to make them take up the whole screen, but once there, you can't switch to view other cards, you have to back out, and then double click on another card. Honestly it seems like making a user friendly interface for viewing a hand of cards is pretty much a no-brainer so I'm wondering it they just gave up on this project or had never played it themselves LOL I wish I could recomment this game, it's a great idea, but badly executed. I might print myself some copies of the cards to play the game IRL, but I don't see myself playing this app much in the state that it's in.
I do not like this game.
the rules seem to change from card drop to card drop the only i can get to work reliably is the artilary the drop troops some times fire when they have no support and suplies other times they do nothing same goes with every other card
AI is super slow and can't/won't forfeit meaning you can have matches that you should have won but the bot stalls forever so you have to forfeit. Online matches either don't work properly or everyone is cheating, either way its a waste of money.
Game froze on me, or AI very slow. Only able to do 3 turns in my 18 minutes.
Love the art work! Fun quick card game to play on break.
