Gears of War: the Card Game - How to Play (in 9 Minutes)
Addendum for Clarification:
1. The Best Way to set up the cards is to go through them all and separate them by chapter (showing on the Card's bottom) starting with the core, then 1-15. ..then rubber band those seperately
2. The combat phase - should be referred to by the acronym "MAC-Dr" - Move to/Attack Cover or Direct attack from cover (while REserve can block)
(...matter fact, make that MAC DRE -
YanadaMean, know whatIm Thizzlin)
3. If you Kill a cover Unit, you replace them at that Cover card (of course on your side)
4. When taking Direct Damage you can choose to discard or draw the top 2 cards of your deck

About Gears of War: The Card Game, from BoardGameGeek:
Gears of War: The Card Game offers an immersive way to enjoy Gears of War in a brand new format. In this story-driven campaign style game, the decisions you make in each narrative scenario have serious consequences on the battlefield in those that follow. Strike at the right moment, making your cards work together, fight together, and stand together - and, if necessary, die together.
Choose how to develop your force as you play through unique narrative scenarios, each with their own objective and terrain layout. Each win or loss will affect the contents of your deck in the next scenario, allowing success or failure to impact your experience of the game.
Will you side with the Coalition of Ordered Governments and send Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago into action, or will you command the Locust Horde and unleash the awesome power of the monstrous Brumak? Throw frag grenades at hordes of wretches? Or bait a corpser into attacking you before striking it when it's most vulnerable? The choice will be in your hands.
