About the game
Kickstarter description: "Imperial Crusade Armada" is a Tactical level Space combat card-wargame that uses plastic cards made of the same material as credit cards to represent each ship on the tabletop. These cards have ship stats printed on them so that everything that happens during a battle can be tracked directly on the card with a dry erase pen. Battles between a few ships can be played in a couple of minutes or massive fleet battles can be played in about an hour."
