## Description
Prepare for an epic clash in the grim universe of Warhammer with Invasion, the two-player card game that blends intense warfare, kingdom management, and daring quests. Here, you won't just send your troops into battle; you'll have to strategize how to build your kingdom, complete objectives, and, of course, destroy the opponent's capital. Each faction – be it the stubborn Dwarfs, the agile Empire, the brutal Orcs, or the chaotic forces of Chaos – has its own playstyle, and you can even mix the forces of Order or Destruction to create your perfect alliance.

Forget the blind luck of collecting cards! Invasion follows Fantasy Flight Games' LCG model, where you know exactly what comes in each pack. The fun lies in building your deck with heroes, monsters, spells, and structures, and using your wits to manage your hand. The battlefield is divided into three zones on your capital: the Kingdom (for resources), the Quest (for drawing cards), and the Battlefield (for attacking and defending). Each zone has its function, and if two of them are 'burned' by the enemy, it's game over! The key is to balance economy, offense, and defense, making tactical decisions with every play. With quick 45-minute games, it's perfect for those who enjoy sharp strategy and a good duel.

The core set comes with everything you need to start: 220 cards, 4 capital boards, damage, and resource tokens. And if you want more, there's a whole host of expansion cycles ready to broaden your tactical options and dive even deeper into the world of Warhammer.
