Free ~ Heroes of Kargob Print and Play Prototype
🕑 Added 2024-03-04 08:02:31 +0000 UTCI've been inspired by a certain JRPG this week and also the 6th Anniversary of the Swords Webcomic and decided to make a little prototype for a card game they might play within the world of Swords! Introducing Heroes of Kargob!
Here are the rules for Heroes of Kargob:
- Players each start with a hand of 6 cards - you can choose the cards you want, or draw them randomly from a deck if both players prefer that better
- Players take turns playing 1 card on their side of the field. The very first card played gets a bonus of 1 Health.
- When a card is played, it inflicts Damage to the enemy in front of, to the upper right AND to the upper left of it according to the numbers at the top of the card
- When a card runs out of Health, it is turned sideways and another card cannot be played in that spot
- The winner is whoever has the most remaining Health across their 4 Cards when the board is full and no other cards can be played
That's it! I hope you have fun trying it out with a friend, or it becomes an interesting minigame in your next DnD campaign.
I've kept the art simple for this beta version, so its not too taxing on your home printer. Let's revisit the art after some gameplay feedback - feel free to experiment with your own card ideas too, or a larger playing field if you want to. Maybe some regional variations will arise in Paladium and Dark Knight's Keep - another reason for them to be at each other's throats!
To Victory! By the Blood of Kargob!

I had the same question, maybe were supposed to print them multiple times?

Am I missing something or are there only 8 total cards available?
