Star Wars

Das grosse Lichtschwert-Duell

Jedi-Ritter and Sith-Lords in the duel of light sabers! You are dealt three cards from the mixed stack of 32 Jedi and 32 Sith cards. The duel station is set out ready. In your turn you draw a card, check your hand of cards for a combination - three identical or three different Jedi or Sith cards - and discard a card on your discard stack.

With a combination, you can challenge another player to a duel, he must have a card of the opposite faction on his discard pile - with a Sith combination you challenge a player with a Jedi card on the discard pile, and vice versa. The challenged player must accept the challenge. Both players place their light saber - green for Jedi, red for Sith - in the corresponding opening of the duel station and the station is switched on. When the blue light disappears, both players must pull their light saber out of the station as quickly as they can; whoever is fasted, wins the duel and the duel station shows the light color of the winner. The winner takes the combination that was played and also the discard pile of the loser; those cards are set aside as safe winning points. When all cards have been taken, you win with most cards.

In a variant, you search for a card, whoever holds it and plays it, may challenge someone to a duel. In another variant, you look for pairs in a hidden display; if you find a pair, you challenge your left neighbor to a duel.

A nice interpretation of the duels from Star Wars films, the game unit is elaborate, but easy to use; quick reactions are necessary and a bit tactic - can you best the player who already won most cards? He has demonstrated that he reacts fast!
