- Limit player actions to create strategic depth
- Introduce an element of surprise and unpredictability
- Simulate real-life command and control challenges
Gameplay Impact
Command Cards can significantly affect gameplay by:
- Dictating the types of actions available each turn
- Influencing player decision-making and planning
- Enhancing thematic elements of the game
Examples
- Memoir '44: Players use cards to order units on the battlefield.
- Star Wars: Rebellion: Command Cards add unpredictability to battles.
