What is Cinema Tactics
Cinema Tactics is a game of sword fighting, bow shooting, spell casting, and gunslinging in a variety of settings ranging from traditional fantasy landscapes to the streets of Tombstone to the deep black of outer space.
Gameplay models every blow and desperate block with damage effects that lend encounters an especially cinematic feel. Characters alternate spending Action Points to move and fight, calling suits or colors from a deck of playing cards to determine the the success of their attacks. Players can engage in multi-part adventures or create bands of Heroes and pit them against each other. Heroes acquire loot and new skills as they emerge victorious from their quests.
