The Ares Project
In The Ares Project, 2-4 players are competing to see which of their factions will lead mankind into the future. Each faction has its own deck of cards, buildings, upgrades, attacks, special powers, and a screen behind which a player will play cards. Your opponents do not know what you are building. When a player lays down an attack card, he chooses an opponent, the players drop their screens, and they battle for control of the Frontier, i.e. the center of the table. Whoever controls the Frontier scores points and also has the ability to attack player bases directly. Eliminate your opponent to win instantly, or have the most points when the game ends.

What the community says about The Ares Project
Es un juego de combate y conquista, basado en cartas. Admite dos modalidades de juego: básico y avanzado. De momento solo conozco el básico. El jugador tiene un mazo de cartas, y una mano de tres cartas. En su turno, lo único que tiene que hacer es jugar una carta. Se puede jugar bocaarriba (se construye un edificio), o bocaabajo sobre un edificio (para generar unidades) o una carta de ataque. Hay dos terrenos: la frontera y la base enemiga. Cuando un jugador proclama un ataque debe decir a qué zona va atacar y el defensor determina qué zona va a defender. Quien posee la frontera se queda
