About the game
Take cover is a fast playing card game for two players. Gamers should be able to play several battles over a one hour lunch!!! Overview: Two German squads battle two Russian squads on the tabletop battlefield. Players perform actions to improve their squad’s combat effectiveness by attaching Weapon, Leader, Terrain cards, and by advancing on and firing on the enemy. Event cards are played to damage or impede the enemy squad. The 10-sided die (d10) resolves combat and Event card results. The game is won by eliminating both of the opponent’s squads. With only 2 pages of rules and 72 cards gamers will be up and battling in no time. Rules for special weapons, leaders, and terrain are all there. —description from the publisher
