About the game
What you do in a play session
La Bagarre is a fast-paced, action-packed brawl where you take on the role of arena fighters like ogres, mages, or spies. Using a standard 54-card deck (including Jokers), each player represents their combatant on the table with two vertical cards for Health Points (HP), one horizontal card for a Shield, and an optional Hero card that grants asymmetric abilities. On your turn, you announce your target and action, draw the top card of the central deck, and apply its value. You can choose to Attack an opponent, Change your Shield, or Charge your next attack. Combat is modified by special mechanics like bonus turns on kills, top-deck foresight when reduced to 1 HP, and unique Hero abilities. To win, you must be the last fighter standing in the arena. When a player's HP drops to zero, they are eliminated and discard their setup. The last remaining player wins the match.
