ABOUT

Yacht Duel is a based on the classic dice game, Yacht, but with a turn-based, deck-building twist! Grab a nearby or online friend to share screens with or try the game out by yourself and come up with the best strategy!

Each player chooses a set of five dice, each with their own action likelihoods,  and takes turns trying to get their opponent's life points to zero.

You start off by rolling your Action Dice, and choose the actions you want to keep for the upcoming battle. If you go first, however, your opponent can see your actions and try to counter them on their turn, and they also get to re-roll more times than you!

After locking in your actions, you then roll numbered dice and try to arrange the numbers in special sets for a power boost to the Action Dice they're assigned to!

Finally, during the battle, you pit your dice against your opponent's and watch the battle unfold! And the cycle repeats until a player runs out of life points!

ACTION MATCH-UPS

Red STRIKE Actions interrupt Green SUPPORT Actions and deal twice the damage!

Blue GUARD Actions reduce the power of Red STRIKE Actions and prevent the defender from losing their last life point!

Green SUPPORT Actions restore an additional life point when the opponent uses a Blue GUARD Action!
