Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game

By , About.com Guide

Gameplay in Brief:

This is a cooperative card game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Each player controls a team of two Space Marines; each Marine has a different ability. Together, players fight the Genestealers by playing one of three action cards (support, attack, or move + activate), chosen secretly.

After the players' actions are complete, the Genestealers attack -- and then more aliens are added to the table. The odds of survival are terrible, but players would do well to heed this advice from Han Solo: "Never tell me the odds."

The Basics:

For 1 to 6 players, ages 13 and up. About 30 minutes per game.
