It was released on March 6, 2014 for iOS, June 19, 2014 for Android, and February 23, 2019 for URL It was created following a successful Kickstarter campaign. It is the first release from FrozenShard Games, which was founded on September 24, 2012 by three former Blizzard Entertainment employees  .  Gameplay There are four major types of cards in World War II TCG : Units, Items, Orders, and Commands. Every card is based on real World War II technology (e.g.: Japanese A6M Zero plane , Tiger tank…) The resource system is different from most card games. The player starts with three action points that can be used to play cards from the first turn onwards. Players can use their action points to promote units and become more powerful , e.g. a card that starts as a plain infantry unit will gain more attack power, health  and abilities after being promoted. If the card is destroyed, it will return to the player's deck and may be drawn again in the following hands in its promoted state. Sea Lords - Added ships and submarines . (80+ new cards)  May 11, 2017 Stronghold - Added structures (60+ new cards)  May 28, 2018 Outbreak - Crafting option . (80+ new cards)  May 2, 2019 War Machine - Swap cards option . (130+ new cards)  October 14, 2019 Defiance - Gameplay and UI rework . (120+ new cards + leaders feature)  December 7, 2020 Reception Joseph Luster of  Warfare History Network website called the game a "fun new take on WWII Combat" and said it was "surprisingly likable". He highlighted the fact that "cards can be examined to get a better idea of which one would be appropriate for a particular play. But, the simpler battles can typically be won mainly by being aggressive and coming out strong with cards that will, ideally, overpower the ones your enemy puts on the field". Rob Thomas of 148Apps.com reviewed an early version of the game and stated : "While an enjoyable enough experience most of the time, World War II: TCG sports a few serious weaknesses." Thomas criticized how "random chance" sometimes results in "infuriating unfairness," along with the game's lack of "fundamental concepts" from other digital TCGs. A lengthy early game tutorial and a lack of explanations for new elements were introduced after the tutorial. The review concluded : "Free to play doesn't excuse many design mistakes that make this collectible card game feel fresh out basic training." The game was a finalist in Gamelab 2014's "Best debut " section. The company was selected by Asus as the winner of the "Innovation Prize", where the game was presented in Bilbao's Guggenheim museum for the Fun&Serious Game Festival. %DIFDELCMD < %DIFDELCMD < %%% Where to Play World War II: TCG is available on Steam to play for free.
