Description

"WWI card game for 2 players. Recreate the last great cavalry campaign in history. One player is the British. The other player is the Turks."

Each player uses a custom card deck composed of the following types of cards: Cavalry, Infantry, Artillery, Planes, Machine Guns, Supply, Leader, and Nuisance Cards. Battles are resolved in a series of phases: Air Strike, Cavalry Exploitation, Artillery, Machine Gun, and Infantry. The player who wins each battle scores a Victory Point.

"Victory: The British win with 5 Victory points. This indicates that they have overrun the Turks, and that they have captured Damascus before their Arab allies led by Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia. The Turks win with 3 Victory points. This indicates that the Turks have made a successful fighting withdrawal and that they have retreated back to Turkey without being overrun."
