When two psymurai clash, their battle is not merely a test of might but a perilous ballet of minds and wills. Their psychic attunement allows them to predict each other’s moves, making each attack another careful move in a flurry of blows.

Psymurai is a pocket-sized dueling game where you and your opponent queue your moves. Holding back your attacks, cunning, and ferocity strategically preparing your attacks while carefully saving your strength, you can get the upper hand


The goal of Psymurai is to knock out your opponent by pushing them past the end of the momentum track, which is essentially both of your life tracks. Let’s learn how by walking through the game.

Each player selects one of their move cards to draw to their hand. If you hold onto card from round to round, you may accumulate multiple cards in hand.

Take turns with your opponent playing cards in the chain, which prepares them to be resolved. The chain is a sequence of cards that’s built by the players, then resolved starting with the last card played (aka a stack for our Magic players out there).

Play cards either face-down to hide your intentions, or face-up to gain Focus, which lets you use powerful abilities.

Starting with the last card played, each card prepared in the chain is resolved one-by-one in a lightning-fast exchange of blows!
