Duel for Cardia – Win the Rings, Rule the City ⚔️💍

As thanks for his release, a powerful djinn created the wonderful city of Cardia. In Duel for Cardia from Hans im Glück, you fight your opponent for supremacy over the magical city – players aged 9 and up.

Tactics, timing and a good instinct for the right moment decide this fast duel. You both use the same set of 16 cards. Each round, you choose a card face down, then both cards are revealed and their influence values compared. The card with higher influence wins and claims one of the signet rings you need – five rings win the game. But be careful: the card with the lower influence value activates its powerful ability, so a lost round can still turn the duel around. Cardia is quick to learn, and with every game you will discover more tactical possibilities. Experienced players can add variety and a higher difficulty level with the second deck and the locations. The game was designed by Mathieu Rivero and Faouzi Boughida. The box contains 64 character cards, 4 summary cards, 8 location cards, 12 seal tokens, 6 permanent tokens, 22 influence booster tokens and a rulebook.
