Four make a team: three on the Front Line, one in Reserve. Each has a Power Grid across Energy, Combat, Brute Force and Intelligence, a Threat Value, and usually an Inherent Ability. Team Threat may not exceed 76.

A character may only play Specials printed with their own name. Five are common and arrive in the stack; the sixth is uncommon, comes from the uncommon slots, and is usually the strongest card the character has. Three kits, complete:

The other way to win. Seven Objectives make a Mission Set, and advancing all seven to the completed pile takes the game whatever the board looks like. Every card has two faces, the Objective on one and the story on the other. A full set:

Who Killed the Guardians of the Globe

The badge on each card is its printed rarity.

Played in the Events Phase before anyone attacks, and they change the terms of that battle for both players. Running Events takes a legal deck from 51 cards to 56. Events belong to a Mission Set, and each set has both common and uncommon ones:

Who Killed the Guardians of the Globe 5 cards

The Walking Dead — All Out War 5 cards

The seventh card in a character kit, and usually the one the kit is built around. One per character, uncommon, and the only Special in a kit that does not arrive in the stack.

Objects, people and resources that modify a Power card or attack on their own. Only one may modify a Power card at a time.

Basic 12 cards

Teamwork 36 cards

Training 7 cards

Ally 8 cards

One Homebase starts in play with your team and its ability runs all game. Most carry a Threat Value that counts against the same 76 the characters draw from.

Aspect 3 cards, all shown

Aspects travel with a Homebase and change how that location plays.

A Battleground unlocks a set of Any Character Specials: cards with no name on them that any character on the team may play. The Any Character cards belong to their Battleground. A team may run one Battleground and its set, never cards from two sets together.

Ambush

Assist

Untyped

The basic unit of attack and defence. Every Power card comes out of the uncommon slots. Four types run 1 to 8; a character may play any card at or below their grid value in that type. Any-Power and MultiPower are the wild cards. The whole set of thirty-nine:

Any-Power

MultiPower

The shortest list in the set. Adam Kubert, Charlie Adlard, Jae Lee, Philip Tan, Jon Lam.

Silver cold foil on the same artwork. The rarity code does not change; the collector number picks up an F. 35 of the 37 Rares and all 18 Ultra Rares have a foil printing, and unlike the common and uncommon foils these come out of boosters. Four characters, both treatments. Move the cursor across a card.
