Sword Saint

Warriors first engage in mental combat before the physical melee begins.  In these moments, they plan to defeat their opponent.  When the battle begins, they act on instinct: without thought.

Defeat your opponent:

• Play cards to move to their position, and attack them.
• When a card has a movement action and attack action, the movement action is resolved first.
• Any attack that hits will defeat your opponent... or you!  Plan you approach.
• Defeat your opponent as many times as possible within 20 seconds.
• Additional points are awarded for:
  • Turning off your 'Ghost' - this shows you where you will be after each play.
  • Turning off your opponents 'Ghost' - same, but for your opponent.
  • Hitting your opponent with your first attack card.
