King of 12
Players each control the same set of seven character cards and secretly select one each round, then reveal simultaneously. Matching choices cancel; unique card effects modify that player’s d12 orb according to the character’s power. After effects resolve, players compare die results: tied die values cancel, then the highest remaining die scores two points and the runner-up scores one point (under some card interactions the lowest die can win). When only one character card remains players compare points, resolving ties by cancellation; the round winner sets a card aside and new rounds continue until a player wins two rounds. The game emphasizes simultaneous selection, bluffing, and tactical card play, and supports combining sets to increase player count.
