WarCry (game)
WarCry is an out-of-print collectible card game set in the world of Warhammer Fantasy and published by Sabertooth Games. The base game cards were released in 2003, with newer expansions introduced in the months since. A video game adaptation, titled "", was created for the PSP in 2006. Gameplay summary. In WarCry the 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 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 divided 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 opponents take turns issuing commands (a command can be an attack, a move  or playing a special card from hand). After they both pass successively the battle ends. The player with the most "Victory Points" (calculated by adding the strength of the surviving units) wins. Card types. WarCry includes cards for the Grand Alliance (featuring blue marble backgrounds), the Hordes of Darkness (featuring black backgrounds with bones or fire), and neutral cards (featuring green backgrounds with leaf vines). The cards are further broken down into the following types: Card sets. WarCry cards are released in sets each containing 120 unique cards (with exceptions noted below). They can be purchased in randomized booster packs  of 9 playable cards and one redeemable "Gold Piece" card. On July 1, 2006, the Sabertooth Games redemption program officially ended, with newer boosters no longer containing any redeemable cards. On December 12, 2006, Sabertooth announced that "Veterans of Battle" would be the final WarCry product release.
