Hidden War is a card game that takes place in a new dark fantasy world, with 4 to 8 players belonging to three different alliances. According to the number of players there are different goals, but basically everyone has to take its alliance to victory by surviving. Each player chooses a Hero card to determine a unique ability and receives a secret Faction card to determine goals and alliances, if there is any (yellow factions play on their own, without being allies).

Factions can be red, green or yellow. A player's Faction is kept secret, except for the green and red leaders. In the draw deck there is a hidden Hero – Aamon the witch – who can resuscitate dead players, who will abandon their Factions and will fight by her side, until the last breath of alive-characters!

There are four different types of cards in the draw deck:

 Action cards (red). Use them for attacking, defending yourself and having a tasty, fresh beer to restore health. 
 Equipment cards (yellow). Weapons, armies, bodyguards and so on: deploy them in front of your character, but… watch out! Your enemies can steal or destroy them.
 Special cards (green). Using their special effects you can change the fate of the play, but never forget that your ally can turn into your worst enemy.
 Event cards (blue). It can only be used one at a time and it targets all other players at the table.

As chance is always by our side, you will find a Coin of Fate in the box: use it to hit or restore health.
