## What is Cold Hand?

Every card is a unit. Every hand is an order.

1962. The war that was supposed to stay cold did not. The Iron Pact is marching west, and you take your seat at the war room table.

Cards are dealt one at a time. Every card you lay down beams a unit onto your line behind the wall: hover tanks, arc towers, power-armoured troopers, delta jets. Build a poker hand to give your orders - a pair doubles the volley, a flush unleashes a whole branch's doctrine, a straight flush calls in DEFCON 1. Burn the cards you do not need; the scrap patches the wall.

But the Iron Pact plays poker too. Its hand grows card by card across the table, its last card stays face down until the showdown. Beat it and take the pot - their order is cancelled and yours hits harder. Lose, and watch their order land on your wall.

FEATURES
- Poker meets tower defense: place, burn and combo your cards to hold the line
- A stud poker duel against the enemy commander every single turn
- A 25-operation campaign across 5 theaters - the Rhine, the Baltic, the Alps, the Steppe and the Iron Capital - each with its own battlefield and weather
- Bosses that hit back hard: war walkers, sky citadels, siege trains, the Iron Chancellor
- Requisition cards between waves to shape your deck: promotions, spies, fortifications
- The Archive: open dispatch crates and collect 26 painted service cards, from common to legendary foil
- Daily operations, orders, medals and a High Command armory to upgrade
- Retro-futurist alt-history: hover tanks, tesla arcs and propaganda-poster art
- Pinch to lean in over the table and watch your miniatures fight up close
- A voiced dispatcher, cinematic battles, and no internet required

Learn it in one hand. Master it over a campaign.

THE BLACK MARKET — a new deal every day: rare cards, crates and field kits for your next battle.
