En Garde 1993

Experience the thrill of fencing— board game style! In this two-player game, tactics, skill, and a little bit of luck will determine the best fencer. Teach yourselves the concepts with the basic game, test yourselves with the standard game, and challenge yourselves with the advanced game. Cards fly back and forth as the fencers attack, and parry-riposte.

Who will be bold enough to attack first? Is it possible to win with that initial attack or has your opponent beguiled you into an attack while waiting to mount a parry-riposte?

En Garde is a very dynamic game— strategically rich yet easy to learn and play. Three levels of rules are included in the game.

En Garde is played with 25 cards (5 each of 1-5). Each turn you play one or more cards to advance or retreat your fencer, or perform a direct or indirect attack. Following an attack, the opponent may have a chance to parry the attack or retreat.

In each round the winner is the player who successfully lands an attack (or who has the upper hand in a round that uses up all the cards without a successful attack) and the first to five points wins the game.
