Partisan

From BoardGameGeek:

Partisan is a 1-2 player asymmetric deck building game, where players balance international relations and morale in a bid to assert dominance over the nations of the Earth Former universe. Play as Orcades, a power hungry nation keen to prove their worth, or Colonia Lindis, who have been the dominant power for a long time, and now face a change in the status quo. On your turn you can take one of three actions. Firstly, players can play cards for the actions listed on them. Various abilities will allow you to manipulate a number of trackers depending on your end goal. Secondly, players can spend their cards to buy more powerful cards from a unique, asymmetric deck made up of three power levels - your Starter deck, your Prominence cards and your Dominance cards. Your Starter cards may only be used to purchase cards from the Prominence set, while these in turn can be used to bring your Dominance cards into your deck - ramping up your power and options as the game progresses. You can also choose to battle your opponent, comparing strength should they choose to fight back, but beware as even a successful battle can leave you weakened, and open to attack yourself. Finally, when your draw pile runs out you may take your Leader's action, the most powerful action available to you, that's only available when you have no options left. To win the game. Orcades need to move along the International Relations track all the way to War, whilst Colonia Lindis want to move in the opposite direction toward Peace. Recruit a unique roster of important figures, form volatile alliances, and fight epic battles as you vie for military and political dominance in Partisan from Earth Former Games.
