Description

Knave! is a fast-paced reflex-based duelling card game for two players that simulates the frantic and sudden nature of swordfighting! Take up your guards in hand and set a rhythm with your opponent, playing out cards to try and catch your opponent in a winning position. Each guard beats only one other type of guard, so keep an eye out for when you might be able to strike. Or if you're fast enough, throw up a block before your opponent strikes you! Like a fusion of a rhythm-game and rock-paper-scissors, Knave! is inspired by actual historical swordfighting principles and fuelled by the desire to defeat your enemies in combat. —description from the publisher
