Duel of Whispers & Knives

About

The royal court is full of danger and deception. Will you unite the warring factions, or bring the court to its knees with trickery and might? Combine poker hands with powerful skill cards to exert your will and rise to the top. But beware the tyrannical red queen and the mysterious black knave… Duel of Whispers and Knives is a fast-paced duelling card game for two players, with games typically taking 10–15 minutes. There are two ways to win: either reduce your opponent to zero life by playing stronger poker hands, or acquire three out of four faction leader cards by playing four cards of the same suit. You can also use thematic skill cards, burning your playing cards as fuel, to trigger effects like stealing your opponent's cards or doubling your damage output. —description from the designer
