Created by Corey Konieczka, Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game combines strategy, teamwork, and grim combat into a suspenseful and fast-paced card game.
Players choose from six different combat teams, each consisting of two Space Marines with different abilities. Each player receives three Action cards for each of his combat teams. After all of the Space Marines have fallen into formation, prepare for the first wave of Genestealers!
Gameplay is quick and easy-to-learn. Each game is played over a series of rounds, broken up into phases. During the Choose Actions Phase, each player must secretly determine which of the following Action cards they wish to play on their Space Marines: Support, Attack, or Move + Activate. You can't pick the same Action card next round, so choose wisely!
Action resolution keeps all players involved while the overwhelming odds inspire them to work together to survive. The Action Resolution Phase consists of each player revealing and carrying out their chosen Action. The lowest number card goes first, which means Attacks are resolved after Supports. Support tokens enable Space Marines to reroll, so make sure to cover your fellow Blood Angels!
The Genestealer Attack Phase happens after all the Actions have been resolved, so hopefully you thinned out the swarms since you have to roll higher than the number of Genestealers in the swarm to successfully defend. Finally, an Event card is drawn to spawn more alien adversaries. Once all the Genestealers have emerged from the darkness, its time to move forward, drawing a new location card. And then it's back into the fight!
Head over to our description page to learn more, and keep watching for previews over the coming weeks. This summer, it's man versus alien in the grim darkness of space. The mission seems impossible. Survival seems unlikely. Failure is not an option.
Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game is a cooperative card game for 1-6 players. Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, players take on the roles of Space Marines pitted against the increasing hordes of Genestealers.

Listened to the d6g review and was interested, I love space hulk after all
Ol, are you going to get a club copy? I really want this to be good, but don't want to invest in a copy unless it's worth playing more than once in a blue moon.
There's nothing better than once in a Blue Moon!
Yep I will be buying a club copy, so maybe we have a game on Monday after ravenloft (or before)
Hell yes, I'm in for that on Monday! Good idea as we always finish Ravenloft well early. Got my eye on this game.
Sorry guys no blood angel tonight, the suppliers only got it in this morning, so I will have it by Thursday now instead
Maybe we could have a pop at this before / after the RP?
Yep it's coming on wed now so I'll bring it along on Thursday for whom ever would like a game, 1-6 players can play...
After 6 games, I have finally won.
it takes a little while for the tactics of the game to start seeping in, but they are there.
Intro games from Gary then at the club.... :thumbsup:
I'm aiming for Thursday for my next appearance (work permitting of course)
