From BoardGameGeek
Command your mint-tin sized army on the battlefield and lead them to victory! That's an Order is a mini programming game of tactics, timing, and bluffing for 1 to 2 players. It's designed by Jonathan Carnehl and Ryan Sromek with art by Jonathan Carnehl. Set up the battlefield using a variety of terrain. Then, each player chooses their first three commands and sets them face-down in order. They are revealed and executed in alternating turns. Commands allow you to do things like deploy, maneuver, and attack. Or you can play your That's and Order! card to gain your TAO token for a future turn. The TAO token allows you to execute a more powerful version of one of the commands. Have one of your soldiers standing alone on the enemy's base at the end of your turn to claim victory! This game has many modes and lots of modularity for a very sandboxy war game experience that plays quickly. -description from the publisher
