Showdown: Icons

A fast-paced card duel in which two players choose feint cards openly and commit strike cards face down. Once revealed, strikes add to the feint values, with the higher total usually winning the combat and dealing damage. Each card belongs to one of three disciplines—Physical, Intellect, or Cunning. If both strikes share a discipline, the lower total wins instead, while matching a player’s feint and strike provides an advantage. The game ends when one player takes enough damage to flip all of their Aces. Five distinct decks can be played against one another.
