And we name it as Holmgang : the hidden!

Holmgang is a duel practiced by early medieval Scandinavians. It was a legally recognized way to settle disputes.[1]

I wish to address some changes during the development period.

1.Magic Shield card now has a new name “Magic Protection” to distinguish from Shield Attack.

Now Magic Protection

2. No in-hand card for Judge

Solution:  Draw a card from the discard pile

3. Strike-Back card is now a Defense card

  • Cast each card’s function in a new sequence

Magic Shield → Mist → Thunder → Shield Attack → Ragnorok → Basic Attack → Strike-back

Sequence really matters

I sincerely wish to thank my partner Yanci for walking with me down this path and making this silly idea a playable game. Many thanks to Prof. King, and lovely playtesters Linda Chen and Steven Fang.
