Over the past six months, more than 1,000 players from around the globe have battled to reach the finals for a chance to compete for the title of the KARDS World Champion and for part of the $10,000 prize pool.

The four best players were ready to battle it out in a virtual final orchestrated from at the KARDS Headquarters in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Large-scale reinforcements have arrived in KARDS with Theaters of War, adding massive single-player content.

The Theaters of War update brings five single-player campaigns to the game, each representing some of the most iconic battles of the era. The update includes 40 unique new cards that unlock as players complete the campaigns, delivering further depth and strategic gameplay.

While other online card games lean heavily into fantasy, KARDS - The WWII Card Game goes in the opposite direction with some interesting results.

It's no secret that developers have learned the potency of the online card game genre over the last few years. It doesn't take an industry analyst to realize that there are a lot of people playing games like Magic Arena and Hearthstone, to say nothing of the ringing endorsement that Riot Games gave to the burgeoning archetype with its development of Legends of Runeterra. With so many massive companies competing in such a small (for now) space, how does a studio set its own spin on the genre apart from all the rest?

Developer's Second World War-themed digital card game Kards now boasts over 100,000 weekly active users.

“This further round of funding is a reflection of the incredible success that KARDS has enjoyed since it first launched into Early Access a year ago.“ said Ivar Kristjansson, CEO 1939 Games. “This new investment enables us to continue delivering an amazing experience to our loyal fanbase in the form of even more cards and play modes as well as the mobile version that we anticipate to be a real game-changer.”
