This is a vintage Citadel Combat Cards Space Marines card set, which was was released in 1995. It is part of the Combat Cards' 2nd edition and depicts miniatures from the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines -- and to a small extent Chaos Space Marines -- range of this period.
The card deck contains 35 cards (plus a rules and cover card) and was sold in a plastic hardshell case. The rules were printed onto a card in the set.
Each card features a full-color photo of a Citadel Miniature with the following info:
Top: Chapter/ Legion and unit name
Middle section: the photo and sometimes a unit description
Bottom, left or right side: the game relevant statistics (Fire Power, Combat Skill, Armour Value, Wounds, 'Speed and Bravery)
Any number of players can participate in the game.
All cards are evenly distributed and kept face down, excess cards are discarded. The owner of the pack then flips over his top Combat Card and picks a statistic, then each of the other players put their top card face up onto the table.
The card with the highest value of the chosen statistic wins and goes back to the bottom of the winning player's stack, all other cards are "killed" and removed. In the case of a draw, only the cards with an inferior value are removed and all the top value cards return to the stacks of their respective owners. The last player to hold any Combat Card wins the game.
