About This Game:

A "20 Second Game Jam" submission.  Share what you think! Rate this game or comment below.

Warriors first engage in mental combat before the physical melee begins.  In these moments, they plan to defeat their opponent.  When the battle begins, they act on instinct: without thought.

Be the Sword-Saint:

• Defeat your opponent as many times as possible within 20 seconds.
  • Play cards to move to adjacent to your enemy and attack them.
  • Any attack that hits will defeat your opponent... or you!  Plan you approach.
    
  • When a card has a movement action and attack action, the movement action is resolved first.
• Additional points are awarded for:
  • Turning off your 'Ghost' - this shows you where you will be after each play.
  • Turning off your opponents 'Ghost' - same, but for your opponent.
  • Hitting your opponent with your first attack card.
