As part of a Game Design course, I developed a unique card game concept, drawing inspiration from my passion for collectible card games (CCGs) and my interest in military science fiction and location-based gameplay. This concept, inspired by classic CCGs like Magic: The Gathering, Lord of the Rings (Decipher), and Warhammer 40,000 (Sabertooth Games), blends innovative mechanics with elements of location conquest.
