Whether you’re a fan of knights, pirates, ninjas, or just smacking your friends and family, this game is for you! 

The goal of the game is to collect 3 sets of matching cards. Grab a bunch of cards and make Piles in the middle of the table. Everyone looks at the Piles and decides which one will help them complete the sets of matching cards they’re working on. On the count of three, each player points to the card Pile they want. If more than one player picks a Pile, it’s time to duel! Grab your Swords and fight using the rules laid out on the cards in the Pile (ex: “Keep your knees together for the whole fight” or “Toss your Sword in the air and catch it before you’re allowed to fight”). Whoever makes contact first wins.

It’s fun to play, hilarious to watch, and a great way to settle arguments like grown-ups (grown-ups with Swords!)

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Scarlett ★★★★★

The matching card mechanic sounds simple until you're two sets in and everyone's grabbing for swords. Somehow it turned my quiet brother-in-law into a ruthless pirate. We played four rounds straight.

Steven ★★★★★

Bought this for a family game night and the matching card mechanic got competitive fast, in the best way. Collecting three sets sounds simple until everyone's grabbing for the same card. Turns out smacking your relatives with foam swords is a great icebreaker.

Hazel B. ★★★★★

We ended up playing this for three hours straight after dinner, and even my cousin who hates card games was begging for another round. The matching sets keep the pace fast enough that nobody’s sitting around bored.
