How to play:

You have a sword! You want to cut your enemy with it. But he wants to do the same to you!

Every turn, you both pick an action simultaneously. You cannot pick the same action twice in a row.

The four actions available:

• Slash will try to cut your enemy with the sword. Another Slash or a Guard will block this.
• Stab will lunge at the enemy to wound them. Dodge will protect from this, nothing else will.
• Guard to use your sword to prevent a Slash. Does nothing against Stab.
• Dodge to move out of the way of a Stab. Does nothing against Slash.

Stab / Stab or Stab / Slash, you both wound each other.
