Who it's for

Duos who want a quick tactical card game with real depth. One of the best two-player games ever designed.

About this game

Reiner Knizia's two-player card duel where you form poker-like formations across nine flags. Play cards strategically to claim flags by proving your formation beats your opponent's — but you must commit before seeing their full hand.
