OVERVIEW OF DUELING NOBLES

Dueling Nobles is a strategic card game for those ready to battle it out to the end. This two player card game is easy with a standard deck, some dice, and some point chips! Players build their Courtyard, raise and train their Nobles and take down others!

Players must attempt to destroy all of the Nobles found in the opponent’s court. Are you ruthless enough to get the job done?

SETUP

To begin setup, separate the deck into two stacks. The Noble deck will include the Jacks, Queens, and Kings from the deck. The other will include all other cards, creating the Support card deck. Players will then sit across from one another.

The players will then each roll the dice. The player who has the lowest scoring roll is the first dealer. The counters may be placed in the middle of the playing area, easily accessible to both players. The game is ready to begin!  메가슬롯

GAMEPLAY

The dealer will begin the game by dealing six cards to each player from the Nobles deck. Each player will then examine their cards and place the three of their choice in front of them facing up. This creates the Courtyard. The remaining Nobles that are unused will be shuffled together and placed to the side.

Each player will then be dealt six cards from the Support deck. Counters will represent Stamina and Gold. Players will take turns, beginning with the player who is not the dealer. Each turn consists of four phases that must be played in a specific order.

Players are not required to complete all actions on each phase. They may choose what actions to complete during each phase. If the Support card pile is empty, the support card pile may be shuffled and placed facedown, creating a new one. Once the Noble draw pile is empty, no more Nobles are able to be hired.

When a duel is finished, if a player finds that there are no more Nobles left in their Courtyard, then the game comes to an end and they are declared the loser.

Noble Types

Jacks:

Jacks have a base strength of 11 and a stamina of 2. The Jack Noble allows for two Support cards to be played instead of only one.

Queens:

Queens have a base strength of 12 and a stamina of 2. The Queen Noble adds three points onto her base strength for every Noble present in the player’s Courtyard.

Kings:

Kings have a base strength of 13 and a stamina of 3. The King Noble allows the player to roll two dice during a duel when deciding the strength modifier. A King may also elect to be taxed during the Income phase.

Phases

Phase 1

Phase 1 consists of the Income phase. Players may earn Resource tokens. One Resource token is earned by each player at the beginning of the Income phase. Players may also obtain more Resources by having three Support cards of the same suit, earning three Resource tokens when discarded, or they may tax the King in their Courtyard, earning one Resource token while removing one stamina.

Phase 2

Phase 2 consists of the Reinforcement phase. During this phase, players may replace previously destroyed Nobles
