Covert Operations
Expansion
SUMMER EXPANSION
COVERT OPERATIONS, KARDS' seventh major expansion, revolves around the intricacies of covert operations and the hidden development of your military forces. This release delivers 87 brand-new cards, two exciting new abilities—"Covert" and "Development"—and new game mechanics. Additionally, it includes card balance changes and the return of selected cards from the reserve pool to active duty.
COVERT MECHANICS
“Covert” deploys a unit face down and hidden to the opponent until it is attacked or attacks itself. While being covert, the unit is unaffected by regular orders, countermeasures, or unit abilities.
DEVELOP MECHANICS
“Develop” allows you to choose 1 of 3 cards from a specified pool of cards. This pool can vary from card to card. This becomes especially exciting with the spawn-only Retribution cards and opens new strategies.
NEW GAME MECHANICS
COVERT OPERATIONS also introduces new game mechanics such as "On Reveal" triggers, "Retribution" spawn-only cards, "Dynamic card text update" and more. These new mechanics are carefully tuned to allow for the emergence of completely new tactics and potentially whole new deck types archetypes.
CARD BALANCE CHANGES
On top of new cards and new game mechanics, you can enjoy balance changes on 13 existing cards. These changes further support the fine-tuning of the overall card balance for an exciting new experience in COVERT OPERATIONS.
