Introduction

It is a dark future, the aftermath of an apocalypse of man’s own making. Factions of survivors are in constant conflict with one another, with an alien infestation, and with the devastated landscape itself.

In Auto Assault Trading Card Game, you take the role of one survivor, driving your vehicle on missions throughout the scarred region. You engage in combat against an opponent trying to gather the same limited resources. Will you be victorious by beating him to the punch, or by beating him into a pile of scrap?

What is a Trading Card Game?
While most card games have just one deck that never changes, a trading card game (or TCG) works differently. In a TCG, you customize your playing deck using any of the hundreds of cards in the total set. A wide variety of cards lets you build a deck that reflects your playing style, as well as ensures that each game is different - because of this, it is possible for a TCG to have a strategic depth far greater than the usual computer strategy game.

You can buy cards in starter decks (containing a pre-built deck ready to play), or booster packs, containing 15 random cards. The "Trading" part of the name comes from the way that players often trade the cards that they buy with others, in order to get the particular cards that they want to build their deck, or just to complete a collection of all the cards.

Once you've built a deck, you're ready to play. If you wish, tutorials are available to help you get started.
