The Gears of War series hasn’t seen much movement in recent years, with Gears 5 dropping in 2019 followed by Gears Tactics in 2020. Fans could be waiting a while for the next installment of the beloved franchise to hit store shelves. If you’re looking for something to help make the wait easier, you should check out Gears of War: The Card Game, which is on sale at Amazon.
Gears of War: The Card Game is a two-player deck-building game where players take the role of the Humans or the Horde. Your goal is to take down your opponent by building a powerful deck from a pool of over 260 cards based on characters and weapons from the series, including iconic faces like Marcus Fenix and High General RAAM. Matches last around an hour, and with so many cards at your disposal, it’s easy to replay again and again.
For something less competitive, you can check out one of the many Gears of War books up for grabs. The mainline Gears of War novel series is particularly enticing, telling stories set in the same universe as the games. They also don’t necessarily have to be read in order, meaning you can jump in at any point.
