Description

This is the fourth game in a series using the 3CP Game Engine, which employs custom cards and a deck of standard playing cards. It's more "warlike" than the others in that it uses a familiar "battle line" format, with players competing for five "theaters of war" by playing cards on either side of them.

During the game you’ll acquire Force cards representing Land, Air, Sea, and Production – by playing 3-card poker hands from a hand of seven cards. (Hence, “3CP” in the game’s title.) Card management in the form of “what poker hand to play now and what to save for later” is an important factor toward winning the game.

Close attention to your (and your opponent's) needs and how the game is evolving are required before placing your Force cards; the decision can be tough. Your goal is to triumph in three of the five theaters of war -- or outpoint your opponent -- and achieve victory in World War 2.

NOTE: Cards are not nearly as "contrasty" as they appear above. All detail is visible.
