"1936 Guerra Civil" (1936 civil war) is a card game in which each player plays one of the sides in the conflict, either the Republic or the Nationalists. A player must design his deck from the cards available for his side (a pool of over one hundred), with a minimum selection of 36. Besides the cards belonging to one of the sides, there are cards representing political and military objectives, for which the sides fight. Each objective gives victory points to the player who wins them. Victory can be achieved by military victory points, by political victory points, by a combination of both or by demoralization of the enemy.

The game is for two players, although some possible variants for four players are also offered.

There are different types of cards: there are objectives (political or military), characters, military units and management cards. Each side is made up of factions, ten faction in the Republic side and eight in the Nationalists side. A side can benefit from having a leader if certain conditions are met.

All cards have images from public Spanish archives and contain detailed historical information.
