What is a card-driven wargame? Cards drive the action: each card you play gives you moves, operations or historical events, instead of everything coming down to dice rolls. You are always choosing what to do with the hand you are dealt. Classic examples: Twilight Struggle, Paths of Glory and Undaunted: Normandy.
