CHARCOALBLUE LLC Brings the Epic Battles of Warhammer to Life with Collectible Card Game
New York, NY – October 26, 2023 – CHARCOALBLUE LLC, a dynamic company based in the heart of New York City (330 7th Ave Ste 2002, New York, NY, 10001-5239, United States, 903-923-7860), is thrilled to announce the launch of its highly anticipated Warhammer collectible card game. This isn't just another card game; it’s a portal into the grim darkness of the far future, or the high fantasy realms of Age of Sigmar, all packed into a deck of cards. For those unfamiliar, Warhammer is a titan of the tabletop wargaming world, known for its richly detailed miniatures, sprawling lore, and intense strategic gameplay. Games Workshop, the creators of Warhammer, have built a dedicated global fanbase over decades. CHARCOALBLUE LLC recognized the opportunity to bring this amazing universe to a wider audience – and in a more accessible, portable format. “We're huge Warhammer fans ourselves,” explains a spokesperson for CHARCOALBLUE LLC. “We've been playing for years and always felt there was a way to capture the epic scale and tactical depth of Warhammer in a card game. It’s been a labour of love to translate that into something you can play anywhere, anytime.” What are Warhammer Cards? These aren't your typical fantasy or sci-fi cards. Warhammer Cards capture the essence of the tabletop experience, focusing on unit tactics, powerful abilities, and strategic maneuvering. Forget just throwing creatures at each other. This game is about building an army, deploying it skillfully, and outsmarting your opponent. The initial launch features two distinct card game expansions, each centered around a core Warhammer universe: Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Diving into the 41st Millennium: Warhammer 40,000 Cards The Warhammer 40,000 card game thrusts players into a galaxy consumed by endless war. You’ll command iconic factions like the Space Marines – genetically engineered super-soldiers fighting for the Imperium of Man – the Orks – a savage, warlike race fueled by a love of fighting – and the sinister Chaos forces, corrupted by the dark gods. “With the 40k cards, we really wanted to capture the feeling of commanding a battleforce,” says the design team at CHARCOALBLUE LLC. “Each card represents a unit, a vehicle, a hero, or a strategic ability. You'll be fielding squads of Space Marines, unleashing the fury of Ork Warlords, or summoning daemonic hordes to overwhelm your opponent.” Key features of the Warhammer 40,000 card game include: Factions: Choose from a variety of iconic factions, each with unique strengths, weaknesses, and playstyles. Unit Cards: Deploy powerful units to the battlefield, each with its own stats, abilities, and keywords. Warlord Cards: Command your forces with powerful Warlord cards, offering strategic bonuses and special abilities. Stratagem Cards: Utilize cunning Stratagem cards to disrupt your opponent's plans or gain an advantage in battle. Terrain Cards: Shape the battlefield with Terrain cards, providing cover, obstacles, and strategic positioning. Journey to the Mortal Realms: Warhammer Age of Sigmar Cards For those who prefer high fantasy, the Warhammer Age of Sigmar card game transports players to the Mortal Realms – a collection of diverse and war-torn worlds. You'll command armies of Stormcast Eternals – immortal warriors dedicated to order – Kharadron Overlords – cunning sky pirates who rule the skies – or the terrifying forces of Nurgle, the god of decay. “Age of Sigmar is a vibrant and fantastical universe,” explains a designer. “We wanted the cards to reflect that, with stunning artwork and gameplay that captures the epic scale of the battles.” Highlights of the Warhammer Age of Sigmar card game include: Realms: Battle across the varied landscapes of the Mortal Realms, each offering unique challenges and opportunities. Hero Cards: Command legendary heroes with powerful abilities and inspiring auras. Blessing Cards: Invoke the blessings of the gods to enhance your units and unleash devastating effects. Command Cards: Issue orders to your troops and coordinate your attacks with precision. Monster Cards: Unleash monstrous creatures onto the battlefield to crush your opponents. Gameplay – More Than Just Collecting CHARCOALBLUE LLC wanted to create a card game that was engaging and rewarding, not just for collectors. The gameplay is designed to be strategic and tactical, requiring players to think carefully about their card choices and battlefield positioning. “It’s not just about having the most powerful cards,” says a playtester. “You need to build a cohesive deck, understand your faction’s strengths, and adapt to your opponent’s strategy.” The game features a unique resource system that allows players to deploy units, activate abilities, and unleash powerful effects. Players must carefully manage their resources to ensure they have enough firepower to overwhelm their opponent. Getting Started – Available Now!
