DESCRIPTION

BATTLEDUCKS is a high-octane, turn-based, duck-themed card game for two players! Elements of BATTLEDUCKS are inspired by popular virtual and real-life card games, such as GWENT: The Witcher Card Game, Epic Spell Wars, and Blackjack. Everyone knows that ducks are competitive creatures by nature, and we've gathered the coolest ducks around to compete in the fiery crucible that is BATTLEDUCKS!!!

 

HOW TO PLAY

OVERVIEW: Players compete by playing DUCK cards, with the goal of attacking the other opponent. Each turn, a player can either lay a card or draw a card. Each DUCK card has an attack and defense stat. Laying a DUCK card in the attack row plays its attack stat, nullifying the defense stat. Similarly, laying a DUCK card in the defense row adds to player defense and does not contribute to attack. After 20 turns, attack and defense for each player is compared. Player 1 attack goes against Player 2 defense, and vice versa. Whichever player has the highest point differential (attack vs defense) wins!

THE BOARD: The game board is split into 20 tiles, 10 for each player. On their turn, a player is able to lay a DUCK card on one of their tiles. The game board features an attack row and defense row. Attack row plays a card's attack, and defense plays a card's defense.

 

THE DUCKS: What we're all here for. BATTLEDUCKS is played with DUCK cards, each with a unique name, image, and stats - in the future, some DUCKS even have special features that activate events throughout the game! Choose the best combination of DUCKS to lay in a round to defeat your opponent.
