Darktide is getting a card game

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

Highlight:
“Darktide: The Card Game can also be played alone. Complete shorter missions when playing solo or prolong the adventure by inviting others to join you on your quest. Included with the game are 260 cards, six boards, and everything else you will need to play the game.”

This is hilarious to me. Can you imagine sitting all by yourself at a table and playing a card game with yourself? The mental image alone cracks me up.

Before anyone turns orcmode “Fatshark fishy gitz, why cardgame, where da content at, WAAAHHGGGG?” it’s actually developed by Cucible7.

sounds like it’ll be a deckbuilder. C7’s card game offerings haven’t been…great so i’ll probably ignore this unless it start making some serious waves by itself.

I don’t care… I play Magic the Gathering and make my own fun cards.
I doubt that Darktide the card game can compete with Magic.

It’s actually pretty common for board games to incorporate a solo mode these days. I don’t particularly enjoy it but I certainly understand how difficult it can be to get a group together and all interested in a complex board game.

Hell, I’ve hosted a couple Twilight Imperium games. The amount of arm twisting and manipulation I had to do to convince people to have a fun day of gaming was shameful.

What? Is this a joke? If it is, it isn’t funny, it’s just wierd
PS: Ok, I read the article, and it’s actually sounds like fun.
Tabletop games was always fun for me, and now Darktide as a card game, this will be really cool to play with friends I’ll assume

The amount of backlogged content not in the game at the moment is absolutely wild, when it comes to this.

I could care less about that. I do wonder if it will contain any future-planned stuff like weapons or new enemy units/factions.

The weirdest thing about this, is why make it so specific? Why not make a generic WH40k card game that can be played as any sort of scenario? Like based off Wrath & Glory if you want to keep the Inquisitorial warband take (now that Dark Heresy is no longer available)? It’s just strangely narrow.

And, I don’t know, maybe this sentence was just garbled but it could possibly already reveal a real big plot twist?

I suspect this was GW’s decision, to tie in the Darktide game with something else, possibly to create a feedback loop where Card Game buyers get an interest in Darktide and Darktide players get an interest in the Card Game.

It’s GW’s “support spell” to give Fatshark a boost, since both companies like each other and Fatshark is next to Creative Assembly one of the few companies to have printed mad dollars for GW.
