Having recently announced Transformers Deck-Building Game, publisher Renegade Game Studios is bringing another beloved childhood franchise to the board game scene with G.I. JOE Deck-Building Game, a 1 - 4 player cooperative game designed by T.C. Petty III. Based on the hugely popular cartoon television show from the 1980’s, players will take on the role of G.I. JOE team leaders tasked with thwarting the plans of the nefarious Cobra organisation.

“The G.I. Joe cooperative deck-building game is a game for 1-4 players where you will recruit classic Joes and Vehicles to send them on dangerous Missions across the globe and even beyond. Take on Cobra in one of two exciting Story Mission packs: The M.A.S.S. Device and Operation: Total Control.

The M.A.S.S. Device is a classic G.I. Joe storyline reimagined into cardgame form. Cobra is set to demonstrate the power of their insidious laser device that can melt cities in minutes and teleport their armies anywhere in the world in the blink of an eye. The Joes will need to thwart Cobra’s efforts to gain the rare elements required to power the device, find their secret temple, and destroy the device before it’s too late!

Operation: Total Control is a brand-new storyline featuring Dr. Mindbender and his diabolical brainwave scanner; a device powerful enough to brainwash any world leader into doing Cobra’s bidding. The Joes fi nd themselves in real hot water when Cobra frames them for an attack on a humanitarian organization. With the government against them, it’s a globe-spanning race against the clock to uncover Cobra’s mind control schemes and take down their operation once and for all. This one is out of this world!” - excerpt from the official rulebook

G.I.JOE Deck-Building Game is scheduled for a retail release in October, 2021.
