Salt & Bones

Salt & Bones is a two-player dueling game with a nautical fantasy setting. You are a captain locked in a duel on the deck during a boarding action. Conquer your opponent by out-thinking and out-maneuvering them on an ever-shrinking battlefield.

The game includes mechanisms of take that, drafting, zone control, and trap laying. One player wins when the opponent's health is depleted while their own is not.

Players taken turns drafting from shared decks. Some of these cards are laid down before combat and serve to augment your plays or interrupt your opponent's. During combat, players take turns to populate the board with cards that both damages the opponent's health and provides zones of control.
