52 Duels

About this board game

52 Duels is a print-and-play fantasy duelling game for 1–2 players, with matches lasting around 30 minutes. Set in the world of 52 Realms: Adventures, it uses standard playing cards to create a focused battle of attacks, defenses, items, and hero abilities.

Each player controls a hero with unique skills and abilities, all contained on a single sheet of paper. During the duel, you will launch attacks, block incoming damage, use items, and level up your hero’s skills as you look for the right moment to gain the advantage.

Rather than tracking health with tokens or a dial, your remaining vitality is represented by the number of cards left in your deck. The goal is direct: whittle down your opponent’s deck first to win. However, your opponent has tricks of their own, so every attack and defensive play can shift the battle.

• Fantasy duelling in the world of 52 Realms: Adventures
• Attacks, blocks, items, and hero skill progression
• Health tracked by the cards remaining in your deck
• Uses standard playing-card decks with no cutting or crafting required

With an ebb and flow reminiscent of trading card games such as Magic: The Gathering and Star Wars: Unlimited, 52 Duels offers an affordable battling experience with room for deep decisions. Try different plays and strategies as you return to the table for another clash.
