GAME DESIGNERS NOTES
Revolutions comes out in a few days.
I’m sure I’ll add a few cards, but I’m hoping the premise of the
Design & the game mechanics holds up.
MEGA TANK INTRODUCTION
Solo Science Fiction Card game with two decks.
You control the Mega Tank trying to wipe out the defenders more conventional forces.
ARMOR
The Mega Tank starts with 40 points of armor.
TURN SEQUENCE
Each turn has 4 phases:
Deploy Defenders Phase
Reload Phase
Attack Phase
Counter Attack Phase
DEPLOY DEFENDERS PHASE
Draw 1D6 Defender cards and place the face up on the table.
If the roll is 2 or less then reroll.
If a command post is already out draw and place an extra card.
If a post is already out and you draw another discard it to the defender reserve pile.
RELOAD PHASE
Draw 5 cards from the Megatank Deck.
If there are no cards left in the deck shuffle the discard and draw from it.
You may discard the hand and draw a new hand once this phase.
ATTACK PHASE
Discard Megatank cards from your hand to destroy deployed
Defender cards of the appropriate type.
Defender units may roll saving throws.
Saves are based on having protective armor and the ability to find
shelter, evade attacks, and stay out of sight.
Destroyed defender cards go to the Defender Casualty discard.
Units not destroyed stay in play.
COUNTER ATTACK PHASE
Remaining Deployed Defenders attack.
Discard Armor cards and Anti-Missile System cards to negate attacks.
Subtract the damage inflicted from the Mega Tank Armor Value.
Defender cards remain in play unless the card description says to discard.
VICTORY & DEFEAT
If the Mega Tank Armor Value is ever reduced to zero then every point of
damage done causes the top card of the Mega Tank deck to be removed from the game.
If the Mega Tank Deck has no cards left then it is destroyed and you lose.
If all of the Defender cards are in the casualty pile you win.
