Who it's for
Area-control fans who want asymmetric factions and a unique battle system that makes every conflict tactically interesting.
Not for you if…
You prefer balanced symmetric combat or find the rule overhead of four different factions too much.

About this game
Four asymmetric factions wage war across an alien planet using a card-driven area-control system where combat is resolved through a unique battle board. Cry Havoc's signature innovation is the three-part battle resolution: when forces clash, both players assign units to capture the region, take prisoners, or kill enemy units, creating tactical sub-battles within each conflict. Each faction plays fundamentally differently, from swarming aliens to tech-heavy robots.
