	Description Edit \| History

Using nothing more than a couple of markers and 25 cards numbered one through five, Reiner Knizia does a remarkable job of capturing the feel of fencing, with its advances, lunges, parriesm, and ripostes. Players compete in several duels before the game is complete.

Re-implemented as:

Duell
