Game Garage: Gears of War
The Game Garage is where we enhance, expand, and improve our favorite games with custom-made new content.
Corey Konieczka's Gears of War: The Board Game is a great co-operative combat sim with an excellent modular tile map system and a deck that controls the Locust enemy miniatures that attack you. Once we exhausted the scenarios presented in the rulebook, I started designing my own, and also added new COGs and enemies, which are colleted here to expand your Gears of War gaming experience.
COG and Enemy Cards
7 addtional COGs and 8 Lambent and Savage enemies on full-color cards that match the art style of the original game. Black backgrounds have been removed to save some ink.
