About this game
Swords, Arrows & Shields is a 2D card game that combines elements of luck and strategy, featuring a unique tarot-themed design. Compete through 10 rounds, aiming to outscore your opponent by forming sets of Major Arcana cards with matching colors to claim victory. Each turn is divided into two phases: the Minor Phase and the Major Phase. Minor Phase: At the beginning of each turn, players enter the Minor Phase, where a Minor Arcana card is played to generate the cost needed for the Major Phase.

Major Phase: In the Major Phase, players use the cost gathered during the Minor Phase to play Major Arcana cards. The goal is to strategically form sets of matching colored cards, as these sets generate points. The player who forms the strongest sets across 10 rounds will outscore their opponent and win the game. In the Major Phase, players have the option to place their Major Arcana cards in one of two fields: the Knock Field or the Support Field. Placing a card in the Knock Field allows players to work toward forming a set of Major Arcana cards. These sets are crucial, as they determine the player’s final score at the end of the 10 turns. Only the Major Arcana placed in the Knock Field will contribute to these scoring sets. Alternatively, players can place Major…
