Titanomachina Habitat Cards

How to get a game out of a pack of Titanomachina cards, from a 55-card deck.

• 22x Titan system cards 
• 1x Titan Dashboard card
• 1x Titan Damage card
• 1x Titan Shield card
• 1x Personality card
• 1x Pass card
• 25x Habitat cards per Titan
• 1x Reference card 
• 1x Board location card
• 1x Round tracker card

One habitat card per Titan is used in the initiative stack. Habitat cards equal to the Titan's habitat number on their dashboard cards are shuffled together into a Habitat deck. The remainder are kept by the players for detection and scoring.

Titan in 51N (Tile 51 heading North) addresses a building target in 34, but first 43 gets populated to check LOS. Each player can draw up to four cards, in the order on the locator card. Players can pass. When both players pass, they check line of sight. If the acting player doesn't have line of sight, they can contact the thing that is blocking their line of sight. Passing leaves a position open.

Addressing can be Attack or Detect Titan/Habitat. Destroyed habitats go to the Titan's habitat reserve, to go back on the board when Detect Habitat is played. 

Without a board players can write down positions on a sheet of paper with at least 30 lines using the coordinates on the card. 36-B1G2B3Y4 would be a row of habitats diagonal across tile 36 with blue on the bottom and green and yellow on top. G7Y8 would be a pineapple.

So odds (1, 3, 5, 7) would be ground level and north-west, north-east, south-east, and south-west, and evens would be second level. Bigger numbers like 11 would be the third level of the north-east of that foundation tile.

The initiative stack is kept by the round tracker card, which has 1, 2, 3, 4 on one side, and 5, 6, 7, 8 on another. That card is rotated 90 degrees relative to the initiative stack. 

The upshot being that players can play Titanomachina without a board and miniatures. Whether they would want to is another question. However, this also means the game as a product can be reduced to a minimum viable product of two decks of 55 cards per player, plus shield tokens, box, rules booklet, and a dry-erase pen. It also expands seamlessly when the board, figurines, and habitat blocks are added.
