Players will first draw up a hand of 10 cards, choose which 5 to keep and which five to place up for bid. Both players will bid on the remaining 10 cards, trying to choose wisely to gain an advantage over their opponent. Once the bidding is over, the dueling phase begins. Player choose their stance from 4 options (attack, defense, meditate, or instinct) each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Play continues until both players have passed, are out of playable cards, or one player is dead. —description from the designer
