About the game

What you do in a play session

It's time to show who rules the martial arts! In Duelo: Kung Fu, you and your rivals are aspiring Supreme Masters, and the temple needs a new leader. The old master is tired and needs to choose a successor quickly. To prove you're the chosen one, you'll have to face several opponents in electrifying duels. Each match is fast-paced but full of tension, perfect for those who enjoy direct and strategic combat. Your goal is simple: knock out your rivals or accumulate more duel victories before time runs out. On your turn, the decision is yours: do you attack or prefer to prepare with a moment of reflection? If you choose to fight, play a card face down and select your opponent. They will do the same, and then the cards are revealed for the second effect. Whoever has the higher 'focus' value on their card wins the round, gets a new card, and the defeated opponent's card goes to your victory pile. If you opt for reflection, play the card face up and use its first effect, gaining time and perhaps a bonus for the future. Each Kung Fu style has its tricks and weaknesses, so be smart about exploiting them to your advantage. It's a quick card game, ideal for 2 to 4 players who enjoy a bit of bluffing, deduction, and, of course, martial arts action. With games lasting 5 to 15 minutes, it's perfect for warming up or closing a game night with an extra dose of rivalry.
