Paw of Duty

✬ Paw of Duty is a two player non-collectible card game of tactical kitty warfare, where each player commands a kitty squad to regain control of a war-torn city. The game is designed by Derrick Hwang (creator of Gunfighter by Everything Epic Games).

✬ Position-based combo system - Experience highly rewarding, multi-card plays that dictate the flow of battle.

✬ Strategic - Employ flexible playstyles and tactics each turn through a variety of unit placement and command options.

✬ Thematic - Choose from an arsenal of unique, individually illustrated card abilities that will transport you directly into the combat zone.

✬ Replayable - Mix and match endless combinations of feline tactic cards to control the battlefield.

✬ Portable - Massive brain-teasing gameplay in a small box.

✬ Components

✬ Gameplay

✬ Each turn, players will strategically choose and deploy a feline Huntress, Pilot, or Tank unit into the battlezone. Troop choice is extremely important - while some unit types counter others, powerhouse units also have the drawback of temporarily reducing your card play options.

✬ Commands are then issued to units using Tactic Cards, allowing players to control key spaces and capture enemy kitties with clever use of the position-based combo system:

✬ Win the game through superior unit placement, or focus on capturing the enemy's units to amass end-game victory points.

✬ This 30 second video demonstrates the 2 separate ways to win in Paw of Duty. The 2-card combo efficiently nets the player both victory points & unit placement needed to win:

• No additional copies of the "War Room Edition" will be sold after the Kickstarter campaign ends.
• To contain the new components, the "War Room Edition" will be packaged in a larger game box (11.88 x 9.44 x 2.19 in). This means that it will no longer be portable like the core game.
