Kiri-ai: The Duel

Advance, retreat, block and strike across a small battlefield using a hidden set of action cards. Each round, players choose two cards from their hand and place them face down, then reveal and resolve them one at a time to move relative to the opponent or perform high and low attacks. Damage occurs when strikes connect; inflict two successful hits to win. Play emphasizes anticipating the opponent’s chosen sequence and balancing position, timing and attack type.
