In a city where every little problem is resolved with a fight to the death, it's up to you, the dueler's second, to keep heads on shoulders and bodies hole-free. Bring your guile and skill to the table and outsmart your opponent in a battle for the ages!

This is a local multiplayer game. Grab a friend and enjoy!

That was fun. I like the setting and graphics style a lot. It's pretty silly too!

I quite liked it. Found it was quite hard to win, even with a friend, we kept drawing each other. Interesting game though!

It felt really cool, but I didn't have anyone to play against :( I'll give it another shot later.

Ever since the Pokemon Trading Card Game on Game Boy Color, I've always had a soft spot for games with flipping coins...

Love the look of it and the silly characters! Would like to see a single player mode, could just randomize the enemy's choice?

Great game! A lower health bar or a larger item pool might make draws less frequent. The strategy aspect leads to a sort of stalemate, so more luck may be needed to break that up.

I like the old style wood cut prints and trap iconography.. be good to see this in a phone/tablet game you can play against someone on another device...

The graphics are really great; nice to see a different artstyle. It's a bid sad that you got to have friends (around;)) to play it. Solid game mechanic although I found a tad boring - sorry, but too many draws.

However, a great entry.
