WarCry is a collectible card game set in the world of Warhammer Fantasy and published by Sabertooth Games in 2003.

Game play

In WarCry the two opposing players become generals of vast armies and wage battles for control over the Old World. Each game is divided into three segments called battles. The outcome of each battle is determined after both players pass consecutively. Their Victory Points totals are compared and the player with the most highest total wins the battle. The player who wins two out of the three battles is the winner.

To begin playing the game each player needs two decks - the Army Deck and the Action Deck - containing a minimum of 30 cards each.

The Army Deck consists cards representing units that will fight for you, the heroes that may fight alongside a given unit and magical weapons, armor or other items that can somehow help swing the tide of battle in your favour.

The Action Deck has cards that represent special strategies, powerful attacks and other tricks that every leader has to know in order to win.

Each battle is devided into two phases: the muster phase and the combat phase.

In the muster phase players take turns placing unit or equipment cards on the table. Each such card has a cost in Gold points. In the first battle both players can muster units for up to 20 Gold, in the second - up to 25, and in the third - up to 30.

When both players are done mustering units the combat phase begins. The oppontents take turns issuing commands (a command can be an attack, a move or playing a special card from hand). After they both pass succesively the battle ends. The player with the most Victory Points (calculated by adding the strenght of the survaving units) wins.
