Description

Fast-paced 2-player card game inspired by the sport of fencing. Players throw down 'attack' cards to move the action forward, and also move an 'pawn' game piece on the 'fencing strip' game board. Opponents try to counter with a proper defense card to steal the right-of-way and counter-attack. First player to throw down three successive attacks or to push their opponent off the end of the strip score a touch. First to 5 or 15 wins the bout. The strategy recalls real fencing, but so does the speed, sometimes giving you no time for strategy.
