AFU: Armed Forces of Ukraine

Players command Ukrainian forces in a two-phase deck-building card game that recreates wartime operations and resource management. In the first phase, players plan strategy, allocate limited resources each turn to mobilize units, claim bonuses, and build an effective deck of military and support cards. In the second phase, dynamic events alter the situation and require adaptation: unlockable assets and mission objectives appear, combat resolves against invading forces, and players track achievements that reflect strategic success. Play emphasizes troop management, timing, and maintaining morale to outmaneuver and defeat enemy incursions.
