What Makes KARDS – The WW2 Card Game Stand Out
Card Game meets World War II
KARDS, The WW2 Card Game, combines traditional CCG gameplay with innovative mechanics inspired by classic strategy games and real battlefield tactics. Take command and challenge other players in grand-scale warfare on the ground, air, or seas.
KARDS is completely free to play with all features available from the start. You can earn all cards through regular gameplay, daily missions and an extensive achievement system.
KARDS blends familiar trading card gameplay that make it easy to learn and are combined with innovative mechanics that provide strategic depth and tactical diversity. Innovative frontline mechanics allows you to better protect your support assets and take the battle to your enemy. Rush your enemies with Blitzkrieg tactics, gain air superiority or dig in for bitter defensive warfare until you outproduce and outgun your enemies
WW2 nations in KARDS:
BRITAIN – Lords of the skies and the oceans
The vast empire was caught off guard when the WW2 broke out, but adapted quickly to new types of warfare. With their formidable fleet, advanced aircraft and incredible stubbornness, the British forces never gave an inch without a fight.
USA – Outproduce, outgun and bring hell from the skies
Although joining the WW2 later than the other major powers, the USA had been preparing their production lines and supporting their allies for years. Completely outproducing their Axis enemies, the Americans were eventually able to launch offensive operations of epic proportions in all theaters.
THE SOVIET UNION – The mighty red army
At the outbreak of WW2, although large on paper, the forces of the Soviet Union were badly equipped, trained and organized. This would change fast. Forged through fire and blood during the Great Patriotic War, the Red Army would soon become the mightiest war machine the world had ever seen.
JAPAN – Sunrise in the east
Completely underestimated by the Allies in the WW2, the Japanese Imperial Army and Navy swept across South-Asia and the Pacific in a lightning war of their own. Initially the Japanese had complete air superiority in the area and a fearsome navy which included the heaviest battleships ever constructed.
GERMANY – Pioneers of blitzkrieg
Crushing their enemies with Blitzkrieg tactics, hard pressing armoured units and mechanised formations, the German Wehrmacht was at its best on the offensive in WW2. Battle of annihilation would be their favourite doctrine. Compared to the Allies, Germany did not have a lot of ships but in the depths of the oceans roamed fearsome packs of wolves… ready to strike at the their prey.
FRANCE / The flame of the French resistance
Before WW2 many believed that the French had the most powerful military in Europe, but they were not prepared for the German Blitzkrieg advance. Although defeated, they did not give up the fight. The Free French Forces continued the fight against the Axis on foreign soil while The French Resistance disrupted and demoralised the German occupation forces at home.
ITALY – Restoration of the Roman empire
While not ready for a long lasting conflict at the outbreak of the WW2, Italy tried to seize the opportunity believing that the British Empire was about to collapse from the German offensive. With ambitions to restore Italy to the status of the old Roman Empire, the Italian forces were concentrated on major offensives in the Africa and the Middle East.
POLAND – Fight from exile!
Before and during WW2, Polish intelligence gathering and crypto-analysis experts contributed significantly to cracking the famous Enigma code. Their exiled forces fought fiercely during the Battle of Britain and other campaigns alongside their allies in WW2-Europe.
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We lose ourselves into this game.This is the best game Ive ever played.
But we cant find it in Chinese apple store Im from China can you put this game on Chinese apple store? Im looking forward to it.YOUR GAME IS VERY FANTASTIC.
Very informative about WW2, go to deck customization menu, click on a card and read its history.
We wish we remembered our old account password but its not to bad getting back into it.
We love this game and have been playing off and on for 2 years. We love how the meta changes around from month to month- but the current Japan rush and Japan intel are too overpowered. Cheapest available cards can do the most damage or most to disrupt the game every time. Cannot out rush or guard them enough and its making it too frustrating too play.
It very fun to play we would recommend playing it.
We like the game. We just simply wish that there were more artillery cards for the different countries.
Its an amazing card game it includes aspects of ww2 and fun game mechanics.
Been playing for a while. Good game; would recommend.
We really enjoy this gamejust enough strategy to make it exciting and a fair bit of history behind each card.
A bit hard to figure out what cards to pick for your deck- maybe they should rank them.
Hi developer, we write this review to report a bug. In our latest game, our unit tiger we-H was destroyed by the dagger striker. The dagger striker is described as pin target unit, then , however tiger we-H is described as cannot be pinned, so why the dagger striker can eliminate tiger we-H? We hope you can check and fix this bug, thank you.
Grate game love it ty too the devs you guys are obviously trying too make Sher youre players have a good exp.
You cant just say Im bad at the game, there are literally cards that just erase your entire field essentially. You cant really do anything, all your cards are just gone. Extremely annoying to play against. Besides MAJOR balancing issues, a fine game.
We just wish you could buy Kards game cards in real life to collect them.
Can you please add China? This is actually a good game but theres no China,theres already Soviet,UK,France and Germany from Europe and America from North America but theres just no China in this game,and China is actually very important to World War II history so you know just please add China.
Kards is a terrific WW2 themed game.
Axis and Allies Tanks Glory War. Play cards against the best of the best with a free draft ticket to play ur deck in a strategic position where you have a chance at victory.
When is a Mac compatible version coming, its been many years and it still hasnt come out.
We dont know why, the server of 1939 is more worse than EA steam whatever.
We love this game because its really different from games today but it would be cool if there were different eras like a napoleonic one would have quite the variety.
Very fun and engaging. No ads. It was first made for PC and ported to mobile. Give it a shot.
Played since the steam beta, still just as fun.
Even better to play now it is on mobile.
This kept us entertained and funny rage moments and we feel its 5 stars hands down best Mobil game ever.
We love the game , because its WW2 ccg game.
This is the most best Kard game you can play. Well balanced and so many different types of decks you can make. From being air superiority to pushing infantry you can make what ever you want. Amazing game.
If you love trading card games and World War IIwelcome home.
Amazing for just casually playing as well as an outlet for nerds of war vehicles. If you like things like warthunder or world of tanks for the history, you will like this.
Addicted! Great game for WW2 history buff.
This is a good game. We love they.
This game is great to play and addictive! We see great potential but its missing some add ons that can potentially make it the best military card game on the mobile App Store worldwide. Have some great ideas to make it happen but not willing to for free. Definitely esports material and can potentially generate 15 – 70 million yearly perhaps more. Nevertheless, great game.
This is a fun game the problem we have is where you have experienced players going up against new players.
Its a good game we dislike how the campaigns are locked behide a pay wall but the pvp is pretty good.
Theres no reason to play any country besides America.
Great game amazing result we love this game the only thing we dislike is pay to win and maybe make gems more accessible overall great game highly support.
An easy to learn, but not dumb, game. Strategic, tactical, and absorbing. Five stars for the interface, the gameplay, the historical research, and the lack of intrusive advertising. The help desk seems responsive too. This is a refreshingly good f2p game. The sole downside is that theres not many newer players which means youre gonna get pitted against fair-play veterans. And the odd troll wholl draw things out to show off. Small pond, big fish. Its almost funnyif it werent sad. Still, even losing will give experience and rewards and in time new players will amass stronger decks; just dont toy with newbies. This is a hidden gem worth trying out.
Its plays like magic the gathering but hits our interest more because war world 2 we love this game so much.
Has lots of Kards, battle fun, yeehaw.
So much depth in this card game was surprise when we installed it.
We enjoy the vibe of it all. The unit illustrations, the music, the history. Very well made game. And NO ADS! God bless.
Its gameplay is simple but exciting. With fast load times making it an addictive experience.
As a huge strategy card player, this game has a lot of potential. We shall see.
