This game is Japanese but is language-independent and English rules are provided as PDF's if they are not within the box.
The balance of power keeps shifting and only one team can prevail. Duālis is a tactical trick-taking game played between two teams of two. While easy to learn, nuanced decisions and surprising strategy are revealed with each new play.
Over thirteen tricks, each partnership must work together to win the same number of tricks as the coins they have collected. While playing a card, you may collect and use a coin to change your card's color and, possibly, make your partner’s card stronger. But be careful! Taking coins too quickly will limit your partnership’s flexibility in the important later tricks.
The game's mechanics explore the interconnected relationships between opposites: two teams of two, two suits each with two trump colors, and how the shifting balance between each affects the others.
Can you and your partner work together to unsettle your opponents and create harmony in an unsteady world?
(Includes a variant for 3 or 4 players playing individually.)
