Think Magic the Gathering+Chess, but sci-fi (and much more simplistic)
Both players control a squad of 4 pieces representing separate roles on the battlefield (Assault, Sentinel, Scout, etc). Each "piece" also has a base card that it is represented by which can be modified (think LIFE).
Players take turns moving one piece at a time a number of spaces equal to the mobility of the card. Generally this means more health, less mobility...or less health and more mobility.
The other key factor is the ability to equip each card with one module that changes how the card plays. Shield extenders would add HP, Armor plates would add even more HP but reduce mobility. Damage mods increase power, etc
Everything else still needs to be determined. For example, figuring out whether there should be a range stat included with the cards, or if you have to move your piece to the opponent's space to make an attack. I also don't know what I want victory conditions to be. Are mercs allowed to respawn? Is there a clone count? Should there be objectives? The most important thing is to keep it simple and get the base game working before adding anything else.
Balancing and values for stats still need to be worked out, so I'm probably going to be playtesting with a few IRL friends in exchange for pizza.

If anything, I would really just like to bounce this idea off you guys to see if it's something people would be interested in. I have made my own games like this in the past using The Game Crafter, and I can always steal art assets from screenshots or whatever.
Btw, this is probably my 10th version of this idea I've come up with. There have been so many that I scrapped because it kept getting way too complicated (part of the reason I got out of my habit of making videos). Also, there's some more details in the next post down, feel free to check them out.

...No. No, Jordy, you... ugh... that's.. that's for your stats, man. You have to keep rolling. You've got a ten, and you can put into into intelligence, strength, dexterity, wis... you know what, Jordy. Just put it in strength. You're playing a barbarian, anyway.
You always play a ******* barbarian. |

Casual bump because I made a rough outline of what the cards might look like.
