1.- Combat cards

“I Want to Believe” contains new 27 Combat cards. These kind of cards have often been dismissed by players as being of little use during their games. Experienced players tend to include only a few combat cards in their decks, such as “First Aid,” “Dodge,” or “Run For It.” However, in this edition, we wanted to motivate players to regain interest in Combat cards.

Among the 27 cards we’ve designed, there are new ideas that allow players to control opponents, recover already used adversary cards, escort an injured agent to the Hospital (emulating Scully and Skinner in “Apocrypha”), and many more. We’ve also introduced different combinations to enhance LRC and CRC during Combat, heal more HEALTH points once the Combat has ended, or allow an Adversary to escape form a Combat (a similar effect as “Run For It” has for Agents).

Additionally, we’ve created cards similar to those of Premier and TTIOT editions, but with certain keywords (specially “Primordial”) that were not created on those first editions. We hope you enjoy these new cards and that they enrich your gameplay. We recommend you to have a close look at cards like: "Identity Intrussion", "Field Treatment", "Emergency Evacuation", "Hidden Twin-Barrell", "Agent Medical Escort", "B.A.T.F. Reinforcements", "Battle Expertise", "Opening Fire", "Ammonition Reload", "FBI and S.W.A.T. strike" or "Smoke Grenade".

 

Let your oponents get ready!
