Description

With Sword And Shield is a 110 card game that brings you back in time to a medieval joust.
 Here you step into the role of a knight and by playing different kind of strikes and manoeuvres against your opponent you try to hit him. To spice things up, different events may occur such as a cheering crowd or that your patron saint reveals himself. Your personal abilities may evolve and if you are lucky you may receive the sword of Ascalon, a battle-axe or any other great artefact. Once you control the basics of a joust you will be able to play a mêlée. Gather up to six players, split into two teams and start pounding each other. Or why not start a tournament?
