Dueling Cards | A fast card game unique to Indie Game Con

HOW TO PLAY

SETUP

Each player picks five unique cards. This is their Hand. Cards start Hidden, which means the backs face your foe.

Win a Hand by winning three battles. Win the match by winning two Hands.

Both players pick a Hidden card and Reveal it. This is the Battle Card. The card with the most points wins. Ties are OK.

Some cards have a Visible Effect. This means you follow its special rule when the card is Visible. If Hidden, it has no effect.

Some cards have a Reveal Trick. Follow these special rules when a card is Revealed, even if it's not the Battle Card!

Some cards have a Support Skill. You may choose to use its special rule if it is Visible and not the Battle Card.

After Battle, the card returns to your Hand, but faces your opponent. It is now Visible.

If you can Reveal a Battle Card, but your foe can't, you win!
In case of a tie game, play again with the same hand. But! Each player randomly draws their foe's battle card for them!
