Pocket Samurai is a fast-paced drafting and dueling card game where every decision matters. Build your strategy in the dojo, then face your opponent in tense, simultaneous battles. Easy to learn but rich with tactical choices, Pocket Samurai challenges you to overpower, outmaneuver, or outwit your rival on the path to victory.
Play in two phases:
Dojo Phase
Players participate in an open draft, taking turns selecting face-up cards and adding them to their hands. Every pick shapes your strategy and reveals clues about your opponent's plans.
Bushido Phase
Once drafting is complete, the duel begins. Players secretly choose cards from their hands and place them face down. The cards are then revealed simultaneously, creating dramatic moments of prediction, bluffing, and counterplay.
To win, play a Strike card while your total Sword icons exceed your opponent's Helm icons. But be careful—if both players successfully land a Strike in the same reveal, the duel ends in a draw.
