Category: Card Game

Every card says one thing. Your opponent is trying to work out what you actually mean. Feint, strike, and bluff through fast duels where a lower total can be exactly the trap you wanted.

Read the Rival. Win the Showdown.

Each fighter brings a distinct plastic-card deck built around Physical, Intellect, and Cunning. Play a Feint face up, commit a Strike face down, and use discipline matchups to turn an apparently weak play into the winning move.

  • The Jokers
  • Ace of Spades

Game Details

Edward X. ★★★★★

Played three rounds back to back and the feint mechanic got me every time, because guessing wrong about their intent costs you the duel. A lower total being the trap is such a clever twist, my partner kept walking right into it.

Richard ★★★★★

The bluffing in this one is so much more layered than I expected — a low card can be a total trap, and my group keeps arguing about who was reading who. We played six straight duels the first night.

John ★★★★★

Taught this to my brother on a rainy Sunday and we ended up playing for three hours straight. The whole game hinges on reading your rival, and figuring out when a low total is actually a bluff is way more fun than it sounds.
