Water Wars 2026

Our galaxy is on the brink of collapse, overpopulation is depleting resources, and water is becoming scarce, making it the most precious commodity in the galaxy. The four most powerful races in our system have embarked on a battle to secure their supplies and will fight on countless planets to secure every last drop of water.

Water Wars is a confrontation game in which each player takes a 12-card army deck, draws 6 cards per round, and each turn plays a card from their hand on a planet, trying to end the round with the most power among the armies fighting for it to obtain rewards.

The armies are asymmetrical, with different distributions of strength and abilities that differentiate them from each other. Some use shields, others set fire traps, others throw acid when damaged, others repair themselves, etc. Each round, we will improve our deck with elite cards and face off on different planets. We will end the game after the third round and count the water points obtained. The winner of the game will be the player with the most water points.

The base game has 4 armies, but it can be expanded with 2 expansions (Invasion and The Ancestors), each providing 3 armies and planets with new abilities.
