Warfighter: A Chtorr Special Forces Card Game

Warfighter: Chtorr is a modern-era Warfighter core game that pits your squad against alien Chtorran hostiles using fire, cryo, and conventional weapons.

Players assemble a squad of soldiers, choose gear, and fight through tactical missions against a very different kind of enemy. This version keeps the squad-building and mission decision-making the series is known for, while aiming to streamline play by reducing some keywords and effects.

A key feature is the Field Points system. Chtorran bodies can be studied if they are not burned, exploded, or otherwise ruined too enthusiastically, giving players a reason to think carefully about how they kill each hostile. Field Points can then be used during missions to spark skills or acquire extra weapons and equipment.

Weapon choice matters. Fire weapons hit hard but can destroy valuable research opportunities, cryo weapons slow enemies and set them up for follow-up attacks, while conventional weapons preserve Field Points and deliver lots of attacks. In short: sometimes the flamethrower is the answer, but not always the profitable one.

Warfighter: Chtorr works well for players who enjoy the Warfighter system but want a more unusual sci-fi threat, tactical weapon choices, and a modern-era game that remains compatible with other Warfighter core games.
