So, I just bought two decks of this card game that is NOT a card game.
Battleground Fantasy Warfare.
https://rattrapgames.com/collections/battleground-fantasy-warfareIt is a deck of cards, but they're actually the miniatures for the wargame. You place them onto the table, and the image on the card is of a block of soldiers, or a line of cavalry, and their stats. They move across the tabletop as rank & file soldiers should, ready to charge the enemy soldiers and get into their vulnerable rear.
I like it because I don't have to paint an entire display case full of 28mm toys (I'm not much interested in that hobby), but I can have a battle game. And then, when I am done, it packs away into a box of playing cards.
